Abstract
Monolithic integration of various kinds of optical components on a silicon wafer is the key to making silicon (Si) photonics practical technology. Applying silicon photonics to telecommunications further requires low insertion loss and polarization independence. We propose an integration concept for telecommunications based on Si and related materials and demonstrate monolithic integration of passive and dynamic functional components. This article shows the great potential of Si photonics technology for telecommunications.
