Ge-rich graded-index SiGe waveguides as enabling building blocks for broadband mid Infrared integrated photonics
The mid-Infrared (mid-IR) photonic integrated platform is recently drawing attention due to its foreseen potential as alternative compact solution to several challenges and limitations taking place in current mainstream technologies [1]. Improved performance is expected in a wide palette of topics such as sensing, thermal imaging, nonlinear optical devices, astronomy or secure datacom, among ot...
متن کاملBroad band and low loss mid-IR flexible hollow waveguides.
This paper introduces a deposition method to create a multilayered waveguide with alternating layers of high index of refraction contrast. A very thin Ag layer, practically transparent in the mid-IR radiation wavelengths of CO(2) and Er-YAG lasers, was created. This enabled a good contrast of the indices of refraction of silver/silver iodide. Theoretical calculations as well as experiments have...
متن کاملLow-loss high-index-contrast planar waveguides with graded-index cladding layers.
We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, propagation loss reduction via graded-index (GRIN) cladding layers in high-index-contrast (HIC) glass waveguides. We show that scattering loss arising from sidewall roughness can be significantly reduced without compromising the high-index-contrast condition, by inserting thin GRIN cladding layers with refractive indices intermediate between th...
متن کاملLow loss silicon waveguides for the mid-infrared.
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) has been used as a platform for near-infrared photonic devices for more than twenty years. Longer wavelengths, however, may be problematic for SOI due to higher absorption loss in silicon dioxide. In this paper we report propagation loss measurements for the longest wavelength used so far on SOI platform. We show that propagation losses of 0.6-0.7 dB/cm can be achieve...
متن کاملLow-loss light coupling with graded-index core polymer optical waveguides via 45-degree mirrors.
We experimentally investigate the optical loss of graded-index (GI) core polymer optical waveguides with a 45-degree mirror on their one end fabricated using the photo-addressing method. In addition, we also theoretically analyze the loss of GI square-core waveguides with mirrors using a ray-trace simulation tool. Then, in the waveguide based optical link including the optical path conversions ...
