Suspended core subwavelength fibers: towards practical designs for low-loss terahertz guidance.
In this work we report two designs of subwavelength fibers packaged for practical terahertz wave guiding. We describe fabrication, modeling and characterization of microstructured polymer fibers featuring a subwavelength-size core suspended in the middle of a large porous outer cladding. This design allows convenient handling of the subwavelength fibers without distorting their modal profile. A...
متن کاملLow loss coupler to interface silicon waveguide and hybrid plasmonic waveguide
A metallic coupler is proposed to interface a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide with a narrow hybrid plasmonic waveguide (200× 200 nm). The device operation is investigated and optimized to attain the best tradeoff between the mode confinement and the propagation loss. Calculations reveal that a high confinement and low loss of the energy is achieved from a silicon slab waveguide into the di...
متن کاملLow-loss terahertz ribbon waveguides.
The submillimeter wave or terahertz (THz) band (1 mm-100 microm) is one of the last unexplored frontiers in the electromagnetic spectrum. A major stumbling block hampering instrument deployment in this frequency regime is the lack of a low-loss guiding structure equivalent to the optical fiber that is so prevalent at the visible wavelengths. The presence of strong inherent vibrational absorptio...
متن کاملIntegrated Optical Waveguide Device for Picosecond Pulse Compression
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a new device, named IRIS. It is designed to increase the coherent optical bandwidth of a picosecond pulse train for subsequent pulse compression. The IRIS device consists of a concatenated array of semiconductor optical amplifiers and saturable absorbers. It is realized in the InP/InGaAsP material system for the 1550 nm range. Measurements on...
متن کاملExtremely low-loss vertically-tapered spot size converter in InP-based waveguide structure
Low-loss spot size converters (SSC) are important elements for coupling photonic integrated circuits to fibres. We have developed a Cl2-based inductively-coupled-plasma process to etch non-selectively InP and photo-resist (PR). This process was then used to transfer a vertically-tapered PR pattern into an InP/InGaAsP structure. The tapered PR pattern was made using a standard optical lithograph...
