Summary:
A silicon (Si) wire waveguiding system fabricated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates is one of the most promising platforms for highly-integrated, ultra-small optical circuits, or microphotonics devices. The cross-section of the waveguide's core is about 300-nm-square, and the minimum bending radius are a few micrometers. Recently, crucial problems involving propagation losses and in coupling with external circuits have been resolved. Functional devices using silicon wire waveguides are now being tested. In this paper, we describe our recent progress and future prospects on the microphotonics devices based on the silicon-wire waveguiding system.
