About the Book
From design and simulation through to testing and
fabrication, this hands-on introduction to silicon photonics
engineering equips students with everything they need
to begin creating foundry-ready designs. The text offers
step-by-step tutorials, straightforward examples, illustrative
source code fragments, and in-depth discussion of real-
world issues and fabrication challenges, while additional
resources are provided online.
Key Features
• Employs minimal mathematics and derivations, placing
a greater emphasis on practical understanding
• Covers passive components, active components
including modulators, detectors and lasers, and big-
picture systems design
• Addresses real-world fabrication challenges including
non-uniformity, automated wafer- and chip-
level testing, packaging, and design for test and
manufacturability considerations
