Uniformly spaced λ/4-shifted Bragg grating array with wafer-scale CMOS-compatible process.
We report on an integrated λ/4-shifted Bragg grating array using a wafer-scale complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible process with silicon-nitride waveguides. A sidewall grating was used to simplify the fabrication process, and a sampled Bragg grating with equivalent phase-shift structure was employed to achieve an accurate λ/4 phase shift. A four-channel λ/4-shifted Bragg gr...
متن کاملFabrication techniques for grating-based optical devices
We describe a novel, versatile process for fabricating integrated Bragg-grating devices. Our process addresses many of the critical challenges presented by such devices, including period selection, alignment, spatial coherence, and nanolithography. Using a combination of e-beam, x-ray, optical, and interference lithographies, we have successfully employed this process to construct 244 nm period...

A prototype free-space-wave drop demultiplexer consisting of a cavity-resonator-integrated grating input/output coupler (CRIGIC) and a different-guided-mode-coupling distributed Bragg reflector (DGM-DBR) was designed for constructing a high-density wavelength-division-multiplexing intra-board chip-to-chip optical interconnection. The CRIGIC consists of one grating coupler and two DBRs, and can ...

متن کاملDistributed Bragg grating integrated-optical filters: Synthesis and fabrication
The design, fabrication, and measurement of planar, passive Bragg grating-based transmission filters is presented. We combine interferometric lithography, spatial-phase-locked electron-beam lithography, x-ray nanolithography, and optical lithography with silica-on-silicon waveguiding substrates to define rib waveguides and grating patterns that have multiple quarter-wave shifts along the gratin...
