In the past half century, silicon-based microelectronic integrated circuit technology and optical fiber communication technology have triggered a far-reaching information technology revolution, which has made human society enter the information age of rapid development. People's demand for communication capacity and speed is growing exponentially. Data center and high-performance computing are facing the bottleneck of speed, bandwidth and energy consumption of electrical interconnection. Silicon based optical interconnection has become the key technology to break through this bottleneck. Silicon's advantages of high refractive index, capable of small active components, and CMOS compatible process makes it possible to realize large-scale optoelectronic integration on chip with low cost, which has become a hot spot in the industry. In addition, silicon-based optoelectronics show great potential in a series of new fields such as mid-infrared communication, microwave photonics, nonlinear optics, biochemical sensing, quantum communication and quantum computing, optical lidar, optical neural network, spectral analysis and detection, astronomical optics, etc. To highlight the exciting developments in this field and to promote the diverse applications of silicon photonics, Prof. Dingshan Gao (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China) and Prof. Zhiping Zhou (Peking University, China) are organizing a special issue on Recent Advances in Silicon Photonics. Submission deadline is June 15, 2021.
