Silicon photonics is a disruptive technology towards extreme miniaturization of optical devices and high-density integration of photonic systems using the advanced silicon-based semiconductor fabrication technologies that were originally developed for microelectronic chips. The objective of the Canada Research Chair in Silicon Photonics (CRC-SP) is to push the envelope of silicon photonics for greener sensor and communications systems. We will create affordable optical sensors for real-time monitoring of air, water, and environmental risks, meeting ever increasing individual and public interest in health, security, and the impact of human-environment interactions. We will perform research to realize the potential of silicon photonics as an enabler of high-speed communications at lower energy.

硅光子学是一种颠覆性技术，它使用最初为微电子芯片开发的先进硅基半导体制造技术，实现光学器件的极端小型化和光子系统的高密度集成。加拿大硅光子学研究主席（CRC-SP）的目标是推动硅光子学的发展，以实现更环保的传感器和通信系统。我们将开发价格合理的光学传感器，用于实时监测空气、水和环境风险，满足个人和公众对健康、安全以及人与环境相互作用影响的日益增长的兴趣。我们将进行研究，以实现硅光子学作为低能耗高速通信的推动者的潜力。
