This paper presents an overview of our recent work on several fundamental optical elements and their integration on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide platform. Theory, design and experimental results are presented for monolithically integrated asymmetric graded-index waveguide couplers, as well as output couplers based on total internal reflection mirrors. Design strategies for dispersive elements on SOI, for example, ring resonators and arrayed waveguide gratings, are discussed with special emphasis on methods to eliminate the polarization sensitivity. Finally, the properties and applications of evanescent fields in SOI waveguides are reviewed.
