The development of integrated silicon photonic circuits has recently been driven by the Internet and the push for high bandwidth as well as the need to reduce power dissipation induced by high data-rate signal transmission. To reach these goals efficient passive and active silicon photonic devices including waveguide modulators photodetectors multiplexers light sources and various subsystems have been developed that take advantage of state-of-the-art silicon technology. Suitable for both specialists and newcomers Handbook of Silicon Photonics presents a coherent and comprehensive overview of this field from the fundamentals to integrated systems and applications. It covers a broad spectrum of materials and applications emphasizing passive and active photonic devices fabrication integration and the convergence with CMOS technology. The book’s self-contained chapters are written by international experts from academia and various photonics-related industries. The handbook starts with the basics of silicon as an optical material. It then describes the building blocks needed to drive integrated silicon photonic circuits and explains how these building blocks are incorporated in complex photonic/electronic circuits. The book also presents applications of silicon photonics in numerous fields including biophotonics and photovoltaics. With many illustrations including some in color this handbook provides an up-to-date reference to the broad and rapidly changing area of silicon photonics.

Solar Silicon Processes Technologies Challenges and Opportunities

Solar Silicon Processes Technologies Challenges and Opportunities

Polycrystalline silicon (commonly called polysilicon) is the material of choice for photovoltaic (PV) applications. Polysilicon is the purest synthetic material on the market though its processing through gas purification and decomposition (commonly called Siemens process) carries high environmental risk. While many current optoelectronic applications require high purity PV applications do not and therefore alternate processes and materials are being explored for PV grade silicon.

It describes alternative processes and issues of material purity cost and environmental impact. It covers limits of silicon use with respect to high-efficiency solar cells and challenges arising from R&D activities. The book also defines purity requirements and purification processes of metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si) and examines production of solar grade silicon by novel processes directly from MG-Si and/or by decomposition of silane gas in a fluidized bed reactor (FBR). Furthermore the book:Analyzes past research and industrial development of low-cost silicon processes in view of understanding future trends in this field. Discusses challenges and probability of success of various solar silicon processes. Covers processes that are more environmentally sensitive.

Silicon in Plants Advances and Future Prospects

Silicon in Plants Advances and Future Prospects

In the present era rapid industrialization and urbanization has resulted in unwanted physiological chemical and biological changes in the environment that have harmful effects on crop quality and productivity. This situation is further worsened by the growing demand for food due to an ever increasing population. This forces plant scientists and agronomists to look forward for alternative strategies to enhance crop production and produce safer healthier foods. Biotic and abiotic stresses are major constraints to crop productivity and have become an important challenge to agricultural scientists and agronomists due to the fact that both stress factors considerably reduce agriculture production worldwide per year. Silicon has various effects on plant growth and development as well as crop yields. It increases photosynthetic activity creates better disease resistance reduces heavy metal toxicity improves nutrient imbalance and enhances drought tolerance. Silicon in Plants: Advances and Future Prospects presents the beneficial effects of silicon in improving productivity in plants and enhancing the capacity of plants to resist stresses from environmental factors. It compiles recent advances made worldwide in different leading laboratories concerning the role of silicon in plant biology in order to make these outcomes easily accessible to academicians researchers industrialists and students.

The Silicon Web Physics for the Internet Age

The Silicon Web Physics for the Internet Age

The technology behind computers fiber optics and networks did not originate in the minds of engineers attempting to build an Internet. The Internet is a culmination of intellectual work by thousands of minds spanning hundreds of years. We have built concept upon concept and technology upon technology to arrive at where we are today in a world constructed of silicon pathways and controlled by silicon processors. From computers to optical communications The Silicon Web: Physics for the Internet Age explores the core principles of physics that underlie those technologies that continue to revolutionize our everyday lives. Designed for the nonscientist this text requires no higher math or prior experience with physics. It starts with an introduction to physics silicon and the Internet and then details the basic physics principles at the core of the information technology revolution. A third part examines the quantum era with in-depth discussion of digital memory and computers. The final part moves onto the Internet era covering lasers optical fibers light amplification and fiber-optic and wireless communication technologies. The relation between technology and daily life is so intertwined that it is impossible to fully understand modern human experience without having at least a basic understanding of the concepts and history behind modern technology which continues to become more prevalent as well as more ubiquitous. Going beyond the technical the book also looks at ways in which science has changed the course of history. It clarifies common misconceptions while offering insight on the social impacts of science with an emphasis on information technology.

Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook

Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook

The capability modeling and simulation (M&S) supplies for managing systems complexity and investigating systems behaviors has made it a central activity in the development of new and existing systems. However a handbook that provides established M&S practices has not been available. Until now. Modeling and Simulation-Based Systems Engineering Handbook details the M&S practices for supporting systems engineering in diverse domains. It discusses how you can identify systems engineering needs and adapt these practices to suit specific application domains thus avoiding redefining practices from scratch. Although M&S practices are used and embedded within individual disciplines they are often developed in isolation. However they address recurring problems common to all disciplines. The editors of this book tackled the challenge by recruiting key representatives from several communities harmonizing the different perspectives derived from individual backgrounds and lining them up with the book’s vision. The result is a collection of M&S systems engineering examples that offer an initial means for cross-domain capitalization of the knowledge methodologies and technologies developed in several communities. These examples provide the pros and cons of the methods and techniques available lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid. As our society moves further in the information era knowledge and M&S capabilities become key enablers for the engineering of complex systems and systems of systems. Therefore knowledge and M&S methodologies and technologies become valuable output in an engineering activity and their cross-domain capitalization is key to further advance the future practices in systems engineering. This book collates information across disciplines to provide you with the tools to more efficiently design and manage complex systems that achieve their goals.
