چکیده
In this letter, we present the first demonstration of 2 8 power splitters made in silica-on-silicon by direct ultraviolet (UV) writing. The fabricated components are compact and exhibit good performance in terms of loss, uniformity, and bandwidth, showing that direct UV writing can become a competitive technology for fabrication of low-cost integrated optical devices.

Interferometric integrated planar Bragg filter for all- optical single-sideband suppression
An integrated planar Bragg filter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. X-couplers and Bragg gratings, operating as photonic Hilbert transformer and flat-top band gap reflectors, are incorporated. Optical signals reflected from these two gratings interference with each other are suitable for single sideband suppression. The device is fabricated by Direct UV grating writing technology in ...
متن کاملUltra-wide detuning planar Bragg grating fabrication technique based on direct UV grating writing with electro-optic phase modulation.
A direct UV grating writing technique based on phase-controlled interferometry is proposed and demonstrated in a silica-on-silicon platform, with a wider wavelength detuning range than any previously reported UV writing technology. Electro-optic phase modulation of one beam in the interferometer is used to manipulate the fringe pattern and thus control the parameters of the Bragg gratings and w...
