Ultra-Small Silicon Photonic Wire Waveguide Devices
Silicon photonic devices based on silicon photonic wire waveguides are especially attractive devices, since they can be ultracompact and low-power consumption. In this paper, we demonstrated various devices fabricated on silicon photonic wire waveguides. They included optical directional couplers, reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers, 1 × 2, 1 × 4, 1 × 8 and 4 × 4 optical switches, ring...
متن کاملUltra-broadband High Coupling Efficiency Fiber-to-Waveguide Coupler Using Si3N4/SiO2 Waveguides On Silicon
An easy-to-fabricate but very efficient fiber-to-waveguide coupler is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. In this design, light from a single-mode fiber can be butt-coupled into a single-mode high-index-contrast Si3N4/SiO2 waveguide with a measured coupling efficiency of 96 % at the wavelength of 1550 nm, and > 90 % in the spectral range from 1450 nm to 1650 nm. Large horizo...
متن کاملAll silicon waveguide spherical microcavity coupler device.
A coupler based on silicon spherical microcavities coupled to silicon waveguides for telecom wavelengths is presented. The light scattered by the microcavity is detected and analyzed as a function of the wavelength. The transmittance signal through the waveguide is strongly attenuated (up to 25 dB) at wavelengths corresponding to the Mie resonances of the microcavity. The coupling between the m...
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 کاملDesign and Fabrication of Directional Coupler Type Hollow Waveguide Optical Switch with Variable Air Core
We present a device design and fabrication of a novel hollow-waveguide optical switch consisting of a directional coupler with variable air cores. The numerical simulation and experimental characterization of the proposed optical switch performance is discussed. Switching operation is achieved by mode-field change and coupling beat length in the directional coupler section, as the air core thic...
