Fiber 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 کاملSilicon Photonic-wire Waveguide Devices
Silicon photonic-wire waveguide is one of the most promising platforms in constructing compact optical devices, since the waveguide can be bent with a radius of less then several microns. Recently, we have demonstrated various optical devices based on silicon photonic-wire waveguides, which include a directional coupler, a tunable optical add-drop multiplexer, and some ultra-compact 1 x N optic...
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 کاملUltra-Small Silicon Photonic Wire Waveguide Devices
Silicon photonic devices based on silicon photonic wire waveguides are especially attractive devices, since they can be ultracompact and low-power consumption. In this paper, we demonstrated various devices fabricated on silicon photonic wire waveguides. They included optical directional couplers, reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers, 1 × 2, 1 × 4, 1 × 8 and 4 × 4 optical switches, ring...
متن کاملReflectionless grating couplers for Silicon-on-Insulator photonic integrated circuits.
We propose a novel grating coupler design which is inherently reflectionless by focusing the reflected light away from the entrance waveguide. The design rules for this reflectionless grating coupler are explained and the grating coupler design is investigated by means of 3D FDTD simulations for the case of a Silicon-on-Insulator based platform.
