Crystalline Silicon for Optical Fiber Communication
Silicon-core optical fibres represent a convergence of semiconductor photonics and conventional fibre technology, embedding a crystalline silicon or silicon–germanium alloy core within a glass cladding. Here we report a crystallographic study of the material properties within silicon fibers that have been post-processed via a tapering procedure to obtain small, few. Semiconductors-core optical fibers have gathered attention for light guidance in the infrared spectrum. Cladded with glasses, fibers can be the ideal medium to transfer the favorable bulk properties of semiconductors into the micro/nano scaled one-dimensional form. The resulting fibers have small-diameter cores, a geometry advantageous for optical guidance.
