Low-Loss Amorphous Silicon-On-Insulator Technology for Photonic Integrated Circuitry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the fabrication of low-loss amorphous silicon photonic wires deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Single mode photonic wires were fabricated by 193nm optical lithography and dry etching. Propagation loss measurements show a loss of 3.46dB/cm for photonic wires (480×220nm) and 1.34dB/cm for ridge waveguides.

We demonstrate low-loss, single-mode photonic wires in silicon-on-insulator as an enabling technology for future dense photonic integrated circuits. These waveguides are defined with 248nm deep UV lithography and have losses as low as 2.4dB/cm for a width of 500nm at 1550nm wavelength. Bends and directional couplers are fabricated and used to build ring resonators with 5μm radius, Q-factors hig...

Finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis was used to design a photonic integrated circuitry (PIC) based on a Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) structure. Light coupling efficiency from a single mode photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) into a single mode fibre (SMF) through adiabatic tapered waveguide and microrings based on resonance acting as spot-size converters (SSCs), is demonstrated. Optimisati...

Low propagation loss and low turning loss are very important for photonic integrated circuits. In this work, the silicon-on-insulator based corner mirrors having high optical transfer efficiency optimized in previous numerical calculation are further validated with FDTD simulation and then fabrication and test. An experimental optical access loss of 0.8dB is obtained.
متن کاملOptimization of the Hybrid Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuit Platform
In the hybrid silicon platform, active III/V based components are integrated on a silicon-on-insulator photonic integrated circuit by means of wafer bonding. This is done in a self-aligned back-end process at low temperatures, making it compatible with CMOS-based silicon processing. This approach allows for low cost, high volume, high quality and reproducible chip fabrication. Such features mak...
