Silicon Photonics: A brief tutorial
Abstract
This brief tutorial introduces the motivation behind photonics and then silicon photonics (SiP). The basics of SiP devices and circuits are described, and then different circuits for high-speed transceivers are presented. We also summarize some trends in SiP technology and applications.

When the die area is dominated by photonics, photonic components being orders of magnitude larger than their electronic counterparts, the overall die cost can increase significantly without arguably making full use of CMOS devices.

Transistors consume much lower power in switching, providing gain, and offering high precision, while being orders of magnitude smaller than photonic components.
“transistors consume much lower power in (1) switching, (2) providing gain (both linear and limiting), and (3) offering high precision, while being orders of magnitude smaller than the photonic components124.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
