چکیده
A coupler based on silicon spherical microcavities coupled to silicon waveguides for telecom wavelengths is presented. The light scattered by the microcavity is detected and analyzed as a function of the wavelength. The transmittance signal through the waveguide is strongly attenuated (up to 25 dB) at wavelengths corresponding to the Mie resonances of the microcavity. The coupling between the microcavity and the waveguide is experimentally demonstrated and theoretically modeled with the help of FDTD calculations.

Low loss coupler to interface silicon waveguide and hybrid plasmonic waveguide
A metallic coupler is proposed to interface a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide with a narrow hybrid plasmonic waveguide (200× 200 nm). The device operation is investigated and optimized to attain the best tradeoff between the mode confinement and the propagation loss. Calculations reveal that a high confinement and low loss of the energy is achieved from a silicon slab waveguide into the di...
متن کاملUltra-compact and low-threshold thulium microcavity laser monolithically integrated on silicon.
We demonstrate an ultra-compact and low-threshold thulium microcavity laser that is monolithically integrated on a silicon chip. The integrated microlaser consists of an active thulium-doped aluminum oxide microcavity beside a passive silicon nitride bus waveguide, which enables on-chip pump-input and laser-output coupling. We observe lasing in the wavelength range of 1.8-1.9 μm under 1.6 μm re...
متن کاملCompact low loss and broadband hybrid plasmonic directional coupler.
We propose a novel broadband coupler for silicon photonics using a hybrid plasmonic waveguide section. The hybrid plasmonic waveguide is used to create an asymmetric section in the middle of a silicon nanowire waveguide coupler to introduce a phase delay to allow for a 3-dB power coupling ratio over a 150 nm bandwidth around 1.55 µm. The device is very compact (<8.5 µm) and has a low insertion ...

متن کاملDesign and simulation of Silicon-on-Insulator based Integrated optic Directional coupler
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 wi...
