In addition, the technology to produce the material is very compatible with CMOS processing. Microcavities with excellent luminescence properties have been also demonstrated [156], which allows the design of both edge emitting or vertical emitting laser structures. The issue related to electrical pumping of the active material, which was believed to be a major draw-back of this approach, can be worked out since extremely high efficiency LEDs have been demonstrated [225, 226]. A still open issue is the ability to engineer waveguide losses in order to be able to measure net opti- Silicon Fundamentals for Photonics Applications 29 Table 1.
This high birefringence has led to the development of polarizers, polarization-sensitive Bragg reflectors, and microcavity resonators based on multilayers of optically nanostructured silicon where their optical response is governed by a three-dimensional (in-plane and in-depth) variation of the refractive index.

The three lower techniques produce nanocrystals in a SiO2 matrix. 2 Silicon Nanocrystals Rather than produce nanometer-size Si crystals by etching, as in PS, there have been numerous attempts at growing them either directly from a gas phase or indirectly by recrystallization within a matrix (see Fig.

The most prominent of these is Siloxene, Si6 O3 H6 , (see, for example [279]) and polysilane and its polymer derivatives (see, for example [280]). Siloxene produces bright red PL with characteristics similar to that of the red PL in PS [281].
