Low loss Photonic Crystal Cladding Waveguide with Large Photonic Band Gap
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Light propagation in a low index core (e.g. SiO2) is realized by a Photonic Band Gap (PBG) cladding waveguide structure with large dielectric index contrast layers (Si/Si3N4). The waveguide is fabricated with a CMOS compatible process. The measured loss for the asymmetric PBG cladding waveguide is about 0.5dB/cm for both polarizations at a wavelength of 1550nm. Potential applications include optical amplification when the SiO2 core is doped with optical active materials (e.g. Er).
