Abstract:
Silicon photonics is an essential, enabling technology for modern-day data centers and super computes. In this lecture, I will introduce the basic building blocks of silicon photonic circuits and discuss the current state-of-the-art, challenges and limitations, and comparative merits and drawbacks of this exciting technology. The lecture is intended primarily for non-specialists, interested in a technical introduction to the topic.
