本文综述了硅光子学的最新进展，并与其他光学器件平台进行了比较。介绍了光通信系统中的关键器件，包括阵列波导光栅、光开关、光调制器和光功能器件在硅光子学平台上的制作。III-V族化合物、锂离子电池、聚合物、相变材料和其他功能材料的集成是增强硅光子学平台的必要条件。对这些方法进行了评述，并讨论了它们的特点。最后，我对硅光子学的最佳研究方向发表了我个人的看法。
This paper reviews recent progress in silicon photonics and compares it with other optical device platforms. The key components for optical communication systems, including arrayed waveguide gratings, optical switches, modulators and optical functional devices fabricated on silicon photonics platforms are explained. The integration of III-V com- pounds, lithium niobate, polymers, phase change and other functional materials are necessary to strengthen silicon photonics platforms. These are also reviewed, and the feasibilities are discussed. Finally, I express my personal view as to the best research direction for silicon photonics.
