A novel ultra-low loss hollow-core waveguide using subwavelength high-contrast gratings.
We propose a novel ultra-low loss single-mode hollow-core waveguide using subwavelength high-contrast grating (HCG). We analyzed and simulated the propagation loss of the waveguide and show it can be as low as 0.006 dB/m, three orders of magnitude lower than the lowest loss of the state-of-art chip-scale hollow waveguides. This novel HCG hollow-core waveguide design will serve as a basic buildi...
متن کاملLow loss hollow-core waveguide on a silicon substrate
Optical-fi ber-based, hollow-core waveguides (HCWs) have opened up many new applications in laser surgery, gas sensors, and non-linear optics. Chip-scale HCWs are desirable because they are compact, light-weight and can be integrated with other devices into systems-on-a-chip. However, their progress has been hindered by the lack of a low loss waveguide architecture. Here, a completely new waveg...
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 Hollow-core Waveguide using High-Contrast Sub-wavelength Grating
We present a novel form of hollow-core waveguiding that enables chip-scale integration. Light propagates in air along a zig-zag path between very highly-reflective Si metastructures comprised of a single layer of sub-wavelength highcontrast gratings (HCGs) without the aid of sidewalls. Top and bottom subwavelength HCGs separated by 9um of air and with periodicity perpendicular to the propagatio...
متن کاملRealisation of ultra-low loss photonic crystal slab waveguide devices
In this paper we demonstrate low loss transmission both above and below the primary band-gap for a photonic crystal (PC) super-prism device consisting of 600 lattice periods. By modifying the refractive index of the holes, we reduce overall insertion loss to just 4.5 dB across the entire visible spectrum. We show that the remaining loss is predominantly due to impedance mismatch at the boundari...
