One of the prime candidates to provide satisfactory performance at low cost in the photonic circuit is silicon.  Whilst silicon photonics is less well developed as compared to some other material technologies, it is poised to make a serious impact on the telecommunications industry, as well as in many other applications, as other technologies fail to meet the yield\/performance\/cost trade-offs. Following a sympathetic tutorial approach, this first book on silicon photonics provides a comprehensive overview of the technology. \u003ci\u003eSilicon Photonics\u003c\/i\u003e explains the concepts of the technology, taking the reader through the introductory principles, on to more complex building blocks of the optical circuit. Starting with the basics of waveguides and the properties peculiar to silicon, the book also features:  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eKey design issues in optical circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExperimental methods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluation techniques.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOperation of waveguide based devices.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFabrication of silicon waveguide circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluation of silicon photonic systems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerous worked examples, models and case studies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSilicon Photonics\u003c\/i\u003e  is an essential tool for photonics engineers and young professionals working in the optical network, optical communications and semiconductor industries.
