چکیده

We propose and demonstrate a method to characterize waveguide loss using the spectral response of combinations of distributed Bragg reflectors. The method is independent of coupling efficiency and waveguide dispersion and does not require the introduction of bending loss into the device.

High-modulation-depth and short-cavity-length silicon Fabry–Perot modulator with two grating Bragg reflectors

We propose a silicon Fabry–Perot planar waveguide modulator structure consisting of two Bragg reflectors to form the cavity. The Bragg reflectors are nanoscale trenches in the waveguide fabricated using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching. Compared to conventional waveguide modulator designs, large modulation depth can be achieved with much smaller modulator length using high-fin...

Tunable Bragg reflectors on silicon-on-insulator rib waveguides.

We present the design, fabrication and characterization of Bragg reflectors on silicon-on-insulator rib waveguides. The fabrication is based on a new double lithographic process, combining electron-beam lithography for the grating and photolithography for the waveguides. This process allows the realization of low loss reflectors, which were fully characterized. The influence of the etching dept...

Direct-write depressed cladding waveguide Bragg-gratings in ZBLAN glass

Strong waveguide Bragg-gratings (10 dB reflectivity) were fabricated by the directwrite technique in ZBLAN glass. Based on a depressed cladding, an array of 169 periodic and in phase modifications was placed inside the core.
