Description
In this Thesis dissertation I have described the outcomes of an extensive set
of simulative and experimental analyses carried out on strained-silicon micrometric
and nanomentric structures and devices for photonic applications. The
scope of this study was to perform a thorough analysis on the novel material
properties, as well as to develop accurate and reliable simulative models for the
design of photonic devices based on strained silicon technology, and assess the
possible use of innovative experimental techniques for the strain measurement in
photonic structures. In addition, this analysis allowed us to estimate the quality
of the nanofabrication processes and techniques employed for the manufacturing
of the devices.
