      abstract = {"Focusing on the important obstacles to be met in order to  make silicon photonics a viable commercial reality, this  book provides a concise introduction to major developments  in the field. Worldwide experts provide clear explanations  of the fundamentals and state-of-the-art approaches. After  a historical review, the text discusses the critical areas  of silicon wire waveguides and optical parametric effects  in silicon, stress and piezoelectric tuning of silicon's  optical properties, and short pulse techniques in silicon  photonics. It also addresses silicon-based optical  resonators, mid-wavelength infrared applications, growth  techniques, hybrid lasers on silicon, and energy  harvesting. "--},
