这份文件的目的是为有希望成为一次出色会议的会议做好准备。为此，本文将调查硅光子学的早期工作，从20世纪80年代末到90年代中期。这是当基本构建块进行更基础的研究，如硅光波导本身的研究，波导器件的损耗和改进的贡献。诸如如何实现调制，以及如何实现调制器，单模传播的标准等问题也将包括在内，以及硅和SOI中光电路的开始工作。重点将放在纯硅上，通常但不限于绝缘体上硅（SOI）的形式，而不是SiGe或SiC等化合物的工作。这些工作中的大部分仍然与今天正在进行的工作产生共鸣，因为向更小，更高效的设备的转变意味着必须重新审视其中的一些问题，以实现最佳的设备性能。因此，本文将总结硅光子学的早期工作，并试图将其与今天正在研究的一些问题联系起来。
The purpose of this paper is to set the scene for what promises to be an outstanding conference. To this end the paper will survey the early work in silicon photonics from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s. This was when the more fundamental studies of basic building blocks were carried out, such as study of the silicon optical waveguide itself, the contributions to loss and improvement of waveguiding devices. Issues such as how to achieve modulation, and how to implement a modulator, the criteria for single mode propagation will also be covered, as well as work on the beginnings of optical circuits in silicon and SOI. The focus will be upon pure silicon, usually, but not exclusively in the form of Silicon on Insulator (SOI), as opposed to work on compounds such as SiGe or SiC. Much of this work still resonates with work being carried out today, because the move to smaller and more efficient devices means that some of these issues must be revisited in order to achieve optimal device performance. Hence the paper will provide a summary of the early work on silicon photonics, and attempt to relate it to some of the issues being studied today.
