Design and simulation of Silicon-on-Insulator based Integrated optic Directional coupler

چکیده
In this paper, we present the design and simulation of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based integrated optic Directional Coupler. Planar waveguide devices based on SOI architecture offer attractive possibility of miniaturization because of the high difference in refractive index between Silicon and SiO2. It has been shown that this technology offers the ability to make devices with sharper bends without loss of optical power out of the waveguide. The design and simulation results of the Directional Coupler have been worked out for 1.55 μm wavelength.

متن کاملReflectionles grating couplers for Silicon-on-Insulator photonic integrated circuits
We propose a novel grating coupler design which is inherently reflectionles by focusing the reflecte light away from the entrance waveguide. The design rules for this reflectionles grating coupler are explained and the grating coupler design is investigated by means of 3D FDTD simulations for the case of a Silicon-on-Insulator based platform.

A ratiometric wavelength measurement based on a Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) integrated device is proposed and designed, which consists of directional couplers acting as two edge filters with opposite spectral responses. The optimal separation distance between two parallel silicon waveguides and the interaction length of the directional coupler are designed to meet the desired spectral response b...
