TL;DR: A reconfigurable but simple silicon waveguide mesh with different functionalities with a simple seven hexagonal cell structure is demonstrated, which can be applied to different fields including communications, chemical and biomedical sensing, signal processing, multiprocessor networks, and quantum information systems.

TL;DR: The majority of the most successful optical modulators in silicon demonstrated in recent years operate via the plasma dispersion effect and are more specifically based upon free carrier depletion in a silicon rib waveguide as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This paper will concentrate on the key technological milestones that were crucial in demonstrating the capability of silicon photonics as both a successful technical platform, as well as indicating the potential for commercial success.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate high-speed modulators based on a 220-nm silicon-on-insulator platform working at a wavelength of 1950nm, using the free carrier plasma dispersion effect in silicon.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results on passive Si devices such as couplers, filters, and multiplexers, particularly for extended wavelength regions and finally present integration of photonics and electronics integrated circuits for high-speed applications.
