heal.abstract	During the past years, monolithic integration in InP has been the driving force for the realization of integrated photonic routing systems. The advent of silicon as a basis for cost-effective integration and its potential blend with IIIV material is now opening exciting opportunities for the development of new, high-performance switching and routing equipment. Following this rationale, BOOMas a European research initiativeaims to develop compact, cost-effective, and power-efficient silicon photonic components to enable optical Tb/s routers for current and new generation broadband core networks. This siliconization of photonic routers is expected to enable ultrahigh bit rates as well as higher levels of integration and power efficiency. The BOOM device portfolio includes all-optical wavelength converters, ultradense wave-division multiplexing (UDWDM) photodetectors, and high-speed transmitters; all based on silicon waveguide substrates. Here, we present the device concepts, the fabrication of photonic building blocks and the experiments carried out as the initial steps toward the realization of the first high-capacity silicon photonic router. © 2010 IEEE.	en
