CMOS (Complementary metal oxide semiconductor) 互补金属氧化物半导体；
CCD (Charge-coupled device) 电荷耦合器件
MOSFET (Metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor)
electronic integration -> photonic integration -> electronic photonic integration
monolithic integration 单片集成；
Discrete photonic devices:
- connection with optical fibers and connectors (Larger cost and yield loss due to packaging processes)
- suffer from misalignment problems (submicron accuracy)
Silicon photonic applications:
- biosensing
- nonlinear optics
- radio frequency integrated optoelectronics
- coherent communications
- high-speed microwave signal processing
Plasma dispersion effect (等离子体色散效应)
