The waveguides' light output consists of two spectrally narrow (∼ 10 nm), orthogonKeywords: Nanostructured materials; Optical fibers; Silicon; Spectrum analysis; Spontaneous emission; Nanocrystals; Waveguide cores; Optical waveguidesWaveguide Cores Containing Silicon Nanocrystals as Active Spectral Filters for Silicon-based Photonics200610.1007/s00340-005-2118-52015-12-07
