Single-wall carbon nanotubes have the ability to emit, modulate and detect light in the wavelength range of silicon transparency, which make them a promising candidate for active device in silicon photonics technology. Few years ago, we have developed an efficient method to extract semiconducting nanotube (s-SWNT) which are metallic free [1]. 
This achievement leads to the first experimental demonstration of a strong optical gain of 160 cm-1 at a wavelength of 1.3 ƒΚm in (8,7) s-SWNT at room temperature [2]. Carbon nanotube properties were then relied on the existing silicon photonic platform, and we envision the use of carbon nanotubes as active optoelectronic devices in silicon. A complete study of the coupling between s-SWNT and silicon waveguides was performed [3]. In particular, temperature independent emission up to 100‹C from carbon nanotubes in silicon waveguide was demonstrated, which opens bright perspectives for future high performance integrated circuits.
