Abstract
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology offers tremendous potential for the integration of optoelectronic functions on a silicon substrate. Th e authors have demonstrated integrated 3 dB optical directional couple rs, a 5 x 9 star coupler, and a Mach-Zehnder wavelength demultiplexer using SOI rib waveguides. These devices show excellent performance cha racteristics and represent key components for the realisation of monol ithic optoelectronic circuits in a silicon IC-compatible technology.
