Deep-space optical communications have been proposed to increase data bandwidths and reduce the size, weight, power, and cost of legacy electrical systems. Integrated silicon photonics technology has become a contender to realize these space systems due to their rapid advancement in terrestrial systems over the past decade. However, little is known about this technology\u0026#39;s response to and system-level impact of various radiation effects. To better understand the limitations of silicon photonics for space applications, several experiments with single-event radiation and total-ionizing dose were conducted on various integrated components. These experiments show that, while this research is still in its infancy, silicon photonics technology is a viable solution to realize optical communications systems for space applications due to its radiation resiliency.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"On Radiation Effects in Silicon Photonic Components and Systems "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2022-03-24 22:43:26","changed_gmt":"2022-04-01 21:13:31","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-04-06T11:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2022-04-06T13:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-04-06T13:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-04-06 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-04-06 17:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-04-06 17:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
