Silicon photonics is a field having the objective of improving the physical properties of silicon; thus turning it into a photonic material and permitting the full convergence of elecMaterials science foundations ;v. 27-28.Nanostructured materialsSiliconOptoelectronicsMaterialsNanostructured materials.Silicon.OptoelectronicsMaterials.621.381045Gaburro ZenoMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786507203321Nanostructured silicon for photonics3714761UNINA
