Capped Optical Polymeric Waveguide
We present here a new type of polymer waveguides (i.e., capped waveguide) fabricated using contact photolithography with considerable performance improvement over the conventional waveguides. We also show that by simultaneous patterning of the core and the top cladding in capped waveguides, we can considerably reduce the effect of fabrication defects and reduce the propagation lose by at least ...
متن کاملFiber to Waveguide Couplers for Silicon Photonics
As silicon photonics enters mainstream technology, we find ourselves in need of methods to seamlessly transfer light between the optical fibers of global scale telecommunications networks and the on-chip waveguides used for signal routing and processing in local computing networks. Connecting these components directly results in high loss from their unequal sizes. Therefore, we employ a coupler...
متن کاملDesign of Grating-Assisted Waveguide Couplers with Weighted Coupling
The design of grating-assisted, channel waveguide, codirectional couplers is demonstrated using the Gel’fand-Levitan-Marchenko inverse scattering method. Weighted coupling coefficients are computed from rational function expressions for the desired wavelength response. Approximate formulas are derived which relate the waveguide and grating geometries to the computed coupling coefficients. The t...
متن کاملSingle-transverse-mode Ti:sapphire rib waveguide laser.
Laser operation of Ti:sapphire rib waveguides fabricated using photolithography and ion beam etching in pulsed laser deposited layers is reported. Polarized laser emission was observed at 792.5 nm with an absorbed pump power threshold of 265 mW, which is more than a factor of 2 lower in comparison to their planar counterparts. Measured beam propagation factors M2x and M2y of 1.3 and 1.2, respec...
متن کاملHighly flexible polymeric optical waveguide for out-of-plane optical interconnects.
In this paper, we reported high speed optical test on polymeric optical waveguide array with embedded 45 masculine micro-mirrors on flexible substrate for out-of-plane optical interconnects. The waveguide array was bent with curvature ranging from 61 mm to 5mm. As the bending radius decreases, the average insertion loss increases from 3.4 dB to 7.7 dB for single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling and fr...
