Introduction to the silicon photonics

course

Prepared by the HELIOS consortium


introduction

This course has been prepared within the HELIOS


project “pHotonics ELectronics functional
Integration on CMOS” funded by EC within the
7th framework program in the ICT priority
The project is aimed at making silicon photonics
accessible to a broad circle of users
The project includes the development of essential
building blocks and, beyond, the combination and
packaging of these building blocks for the
demonstration of complex functions, addressing a
variety of industrial needs
