Ultracompact silicon nanowire circuits for optical communication and optical sensing

• By utilizing Si nanowires, ultracompact photonic integrated circuits are realized. Some Si hybrid plasmonic waveguides are also introduced for subwavelength optical confinement and low loss propagation. We review our recent work on Si nanophotonic integrated circuits and their applications.
