Abstract

This paper provides a short description of three European projects in which Silicon-on-Insulator based high index contrast waveguide devices play a prominent role. These projects include the European Network of Excellence FP6-ePIXnet, the European research project on on-chip optical interconnect FP6-PICMOS and the European Space Agency project on Multi-Gigabit Optical Backplane Interconnections
