When you think of optical semiconductors, silicon is probably not the first material that springs to mind. The lack of a direct bandgap makes silicon a poor choice for applications such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). However, silicon has a number of useful properties that, in combination with micromachining, can make it a highly effective medium for steering light and processing with it.
