Lateral leakage in TM-like whispering gallery mode of thin-ridge silicon-on-insulator disk resonators.

چکیده
The leakage loss due to TM-TE mode coupling of TM-like whispering gallery mode in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) thin-ridge disk resonators is investigated for the first time to the best of our knowledge. We show that the propagation losses of TM-like mode in thin-ridge SOI disk resonators are significantly impacted by the radius of the disk. This behavior is predicted by a simple phenomenological model as well as a rigorous mode matching simulation.

Lateral leakage of TM-like mode in thin-ridge Silicon-on-Insulator bent waveguides and ring resonators.
We present the first prediction of lateral leakage behavior of the TM-like mode in thin-ridge SOI curved waveguides and ring resonators. A simple phenomenological model is first presented which predicts that the lateral leakage in these structures is significantly impacted by both the ring radius and waveguide width. This prediction is verified using full vectorial mode matching and finite elem...
متن کاملRayleigh scattering, mode coupling, and optical loss in silicon microdisks
High refractive index contrast optical microdisk resonators fabricated from silicon-on-insulator wafers are studied using an external silica fiber taper waveguide as a wafer-scale optical probe. Measurements performed in the 1500 nm wavelength band show that these silicon microdisks can support whispering-gallery modes with quality factors as high as 5.23105, limited by Rayleigh scattering from...
متن کاملAn environmental sensor based on an integrated optical whispering gallery mode disk resonator
In this report, we describe the fabrication and testing of an integrated optical whispering gallery mode resonator designed for use as an evanescent eld environmental sensor. We use traditional photolithographic techniques to create 500 m radius disk resonators in silicon oxy-nitride. The evices are overclad with a thin film of SiO2 to provide a suitable surface for subsequent chemical adhesion...
متن کاملOn-chip nano-optomechanical whispering gallery resonators
This thesis work focuses on the design, fabrication and measurement of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) nano-optomechanical disk resonators. These disks are both GHz frequency mechanical resonators, and high Q (> 10) optical whispering gallery mode resonators. By confining optical and mechanical energy on a sub-μm volume, they enable extremely large optomechanical coupling strengths (g0 >1 MHz). We pres...
متن کاملEx-house 2D finite-element simulation of the whispering-gallery modes of axisymmetric electromagnetic resonators
It is described, explicitly, how a popular, commercially-available software package for solving partialdifferential-equations (PDEs), as based on the finite-element method (FEM), can be configured to calculate the frequencies and fields of the whispering-gallery (WG) modes of axisymmetric dielectric resonators. The approach is traceable; it exploits the PDE-solver’s ability to accept the defini...
