Large photo-induced index variations in chalcogenide-on-silicon waveguides.
The postfabrication modification of the group delay in silicon-photonic waveguides is proposed, simulated and demonstrated experimentally. Group delay variations of 2% are achieved through photo-induced changes to an upper cladding layer of photosensitive As₁₀Se₉₀ chalcogenide glass. The illumination of the cladding layer by intense green light for a few seconds leads to mass transfer and remov...
متن کاملPhoto-induced trimming of chalcogenide-assisted silicon waveguides.
A chalcogenide-assisted silicon waveguide is realized by depositing a thin layer of A(2)S(3) glass onto a conventional silicon on insulator optical waveguide. The photosensitivity of the chalcogenide is exploited to locally change the optical properties of the waveguide through exposure to visible light radiation. Waveguide trimming is experimentally demonstrated by permanently shifting the res...
متن کاملLarge one-time photo-induced tuning of directional couplers in chalcogenide-on-silicon platform.
The stable one-time tuning of silicon-photonic directional couplers, over a broad range of coupling ratios, is achieved through the selective photo-removal of an upper cladding layer of chalcogenide glass. Analysis shows that the coupling coefficient per unit length between two parallel fully-etched silicon waveguides may be changed by 45%. The power coupling ratio of a 50 µm-long directional c...
متن کاملPhoto-induced trimming of chalcogenide-assisted silicon photonic circuits
We present an innovative and efficient technique for post-fabrication trimming of silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Our approach exploits the high photosensitivity of chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) to induce local and permanent modifications of the optical properties and spectral responses of ChG-assisted silicon devices. We experimentally demonstrate the potential of this technique on ...
متن کاملVacuum-tuned graded-index polymer waveguides on silicon substrates.
A new method for producing graded-index (GRIN) profiles on type A photolime gel-based polymer waveguides with vacuum drying is demonstrated. Vacuum drying allows optical waveguides to be built on substrates with a higher index of refraction without intermediate lower-index cladding layers while keeping the concentration of various dopants unperturbed. The waveguide-loss and GRIN profiles were c...
