Design and Fabrication of Low-Loss Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Overlay DBR for Glass Waveguide Devices
We report a methodology for the design of low-loss, high-reflectivity, amorphous silicon, overlay DBRs for glass waveguide devices. In order to improve the DBR reflectivity while minimizing the DBR-induced loss, we theoretically determine the optimum overlay thickness and establish an iterative deposition procedure to achieve this value. Details of the design criteria, measurement of the design...
متن کاملDesign and fabrication of a glass waveguide optical add-drop multiplexer by use of an amorphous-silicon overlay distributed Bragg reflector.
We report the fabrication of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) on a silver ion-exchanged glass waveguide with a patterned overlay of sputter-deposited amorphous silicon (a-Si). Using this high-refractive-index overlay DBR technology, we demonstrate a fully functional glass-integrated optic add-drop multiplexer (OADM). The OADM consists of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) containing overlay...
متن کاملDesign Parameter Optimization of a Silicon-Based Grating Waveguide for Performance Improvement in Biochemical Sensor Application
We performed numerical analysis and design parameter optimization of a silicon-based grating waveguide refractive index (RI) sensor. The performance of the grating waveguide RI sensor was determined by the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) and the shift in the resonance wavelength in the transmission spectrum. The transmission extinction, a major figure-of-merit of an RI sensor that reflects bo...
متن کاملPhotonic Gas Sensor Using a Silicon Strip Waveguide
Sensing of gases is a promising area for applications of photonic systems operating in the mid-infrared spectral range. We present an infrared evanescent-field absorption gas sensor based on a silicon strip waveguide, which was specifically designed for CO2 sensing. We discuss finite element simulations that were used to design the strip waveguide and furthermore present experimental data of qu...
متن کاملHigh Sensitivity Sensor Based on Porous Silicon Waveguide
Porous silicon (PSi) waveguides are fabricated as a new platform for high sensitivity biosensors. Biomolecules infiltrated into the PSi waveguide increase the effective refractive index of the waveguide and change the angle at which incident light couples into a waveguide mode. Due to the high surface area to volume ratio of PSi and the confinement of optical energy in the region where the biom...
