Abstract

We review the basic linear and nonlinear properties of silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguides and their application to nanophotonic circuits. We give an overview of the performance and issues of basic circuit elements such as couplers and intersections
and review the achievements in linear wavelength-selective elements, as well as nonlinear applications of wires and resonators for high-speed signal processing.
