Design of a Low-Crosstalk Sub-Wavelength-Pitch Silicon Waveguide Array for Optical Phased Array
In this work, a compact sub-wavelength-pitch silicon waveguide array with low crosstalk is proposed and analyzed. The crosstalk is suppressed by periodic silicon nano-blocks symmetrically arranged along the silicon strip waveguides.
