چکیده
We demonstrate the possibility of fabricating an infrared transmitting waveguide by burying fiber in chalcogenide glasses. Two highly mature chalcogenide glasses are used for these experiments. GASIR glass from Umicore IR Glass, Olen, Belgium, with the composition of Ge(22)As(20)Se(58) is used to draw fibers that are then buried in an As(2)S(3) glass substrate. The glasses we used are compatible, and we obtained a high quality interface. We performed a transmission test with a CO(2) laser at 9.3 microm. The potential for extremely low loss planar waveguides is discussed.

High-index-contrast compact microdisk resonators in thermally evaporated As2S3 and Ge17Sb12S71 chalcogenide glass films are designed and fabricated using standard UV lithography and characterized. Our pulley coupler configuration demonstrates coupling of the resonators to monolithically integrated photonic wire waveguides without resorting to demanding fine-line lithography.

متن کاملAs2S3/Sr(Ti0.7Co0.3)O3 and As2S3/Sr(Ti0.6Fe0.4)O3 strip-loaded waveguides for integrated magneto-optical isolator applications
Sr(Ti0.6Fe0.4)O3 (STF) and Sr(Ti0.7Co0.3)O3 (STC) room-temperature ferromagnetic oxides were grown epitaxially on LaAlO3(001), (LaSr)(AlTa)O3 (001) and Si (001) substrates. Both materials were demonstrated to be magneto-optically active, and more optically transparent at 1550nm wavelength compared with other non-garnet ferromagnetic materials. As2S3/STF and As2S3/STC strip-loaded waveguides wer...
متن کاملDry-etch of As2S3 thin films for optical waveguide fabrication
Plasma etching to As2S3 thin films for optical waveguide fabrication has been studied using a helicon plasma etcher. The etching effects using the processing gases or gas mixtures of O2, Ar, and CF4 were compared. It was found that the O2 plasma had no chemical etching effect to the As2S3, but it could oxidize the surface of the As2S3. The Ar plasma provided a strong ion sputtering effect to th...

We demonstrate low Raman-noise correlated photon-pair generation in a dispersion-engineered 10 mm As2S3 chalcogenide waveguide at room temperature. We show a coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) of 16.8, a 250 times increase compared with previously published results in a chalcogenide waveguide, with a corresponding brightness of 3×10(5) pairs·s(-1)·nm(-1) generated at the chip.
