TY - GEN AU - Lakshmi Narayana Deepak Kallepalli TI - Applications of Silicon Photonics in Sensors and Waveguides SN - intechopen.71590 PY - 2018/// PB - IntechOpen KW - Physical Sciences KW - Engineering and Technology KW - Physics KW - Optics and Lasers KW - Photonics N1 - Open Access N2 - This book is a collection of five original research articles on silicon photonics. The discussed issues are organized into two parts. Part 1 describes the science behind the silicon photonics emphasizing the role of photonic circuits on silicon, and Part 2 describes applications in waveguide and optical transmissions. This book should be of interest to academic researchers and engineers. The chapters included are fundamental science and applications of silicon photonics, optical properties of thin nanocrystalline silicon films, microporous silicon in gas sensing, Mach-Zehnder interferometer cell-based silicon waveguide, experimental study of porous silicon films, and integrated optical switches and their applications UR - https://www.intechopen.com/books/applications-of-silicon-photonics-in-sensors-and-waveguides UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/41080 ER -
