SiON-Based Integrated Optics Devices for WDM Networks
We have used silicon-oxy-nitride (SiON) waveguide technology to fabricate low-loss, compact and tunable integrated optical devices. Examples of devices realized in this technology include thermo-optically tunable gain equalizers and flat-passband add-drop filters.
متن کاملFabrication and characterization of compact silicon oxynitride waveguides on silicon chips
We investigate silicon oxynitride (SiON) waveguides for long optical delay lines on a silicon chip. With the choice of a moderately low refractive index contrast, a balance can be achieved between compact waveguide cross-section and low loss. The material composition and refractive index are characterized by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and ellipsometry. High-temperature annealing is ...
