Silicon Photonics
暫譯: 矽光子學

使用標準半導體製造技術創造可負擔的高速光學通信是矽光子學研究的主要目標。這將涉及用光纖或波導取代銅連接，並用光子取代電子。矽光子學在電信、信息處理、光檢測、光譜學、全息技術和機器人技術等應用中，具有顛覆僅電子系統的潛力。本書提供了使用純矽及相關合金的光子設備的物理學、技術和設備操作的概述，包括：* 矽的基本特性 * 量子井、量子線、量子點和超晶格 * 半導體中的吸收過程 * 矽中的光發射器 * 光檢測器、光二極體和光晶體管 * 包括拉曼散射的拉曼激光器 * 引導光波 * 平面波導設備 * 製造技術和材料系統。《矽光子學：基本原理與設備》概述了設備的基本操作原理、設備的結構，並提供了對最先進技術和未來發展的見解。

M. Jamal Deen completed a BSc degree at the University of Guyana (Guyana) and a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics at Case Western Reserve University (USA). Professor Deen has been an assistant professor at Lehigh University, Bethlehem (USA) and was professor in the School of Engineering Science, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver (Canada). In 1999, he assumed his current position as Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McMaster University, Hamilton (Canada). His current research interests include physics, modeling, reliability and parameter extraction of semiconductor devices; optical detectors and receivers, polymers and organic semiconductor devices, and low power, low-noise, high-frequency circuits. He is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE- Electron Device Society, was awarded the 2002 Thomas D. Callinan Award from the Electrochemical Society, the Distinguished Researcher award, Province of Ontario and a Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2006. In September 2008, he was awarded the prestigious Thomas W. Eadie medal by the Royal Society of Canada for his work on the modeling and noise of electronic and optoelectronic devices, with particular reference to silicon transistors and high-speed photodetectors.

Prasanta Kumar Basu obtained his BSc and his PhD from the University of Calcutta (India). He worked in the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, as a lecturer, then as a reader and finally as a professor. He served as the Head of the Department and he is now the Programme Coordinator of the Centre of Advanced Study in Radio Physics and Electronics at the University of Calcutta. Professor Basu worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Catholic University, Leuven, Belgium, as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in Wuerzburg University, Germany and has been a visiting professor at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada several times. Professor Basu's research interests include semiconductor physics and devices, optoelectronics and optical communication, nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. He has more than 100 research publications in refereed journals and has authored a book Theory of Optical Processes in Semiconductors: Bulk and Microstructures.
