Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from RAS
Institute for Physics of Microstructures, Lobachevsky State
University of Nizhny Novgorod, ITMO University, Lomonosov Moscow
State University, and A.M. Prokhorov General Physics Institute have
found a way to increase photoluminescence in silicon, the
notoriously poor emitter and absorber of photons at the heart of
all modern electronics. This discovery may pave the way to photonic
integrated circuits, boosting their performance. The paper was
published in the journal Laser and Photonics Reviews.
Researchers tame silicon to interact with light for
next-generation microelectronics
