Abstract
Silicon photonics typically builds on a silicon-on-insulator based high-index-contrast waveguide system. Silicon nitride provides an alternative moderate-index-contrast system that is manufacturable in the same CMOS environment. This paper discusses the relative benefits of both platforms.
