Segmented waveguides in thin silicon-on-insulator [PDF]
We have developed new silicon-on-insulator waveguide designs for simultaneously achieving both low-loss optical confinement and electrical contacts, and we present a design methodology based on calculating the Bloch modes of such segmented waveguides ...

Highly-Sensitive Unbalanced MZI Gas Sensor Assisted With a Temperature-Reference Ring Resonator
In this paper we study the gas sensing performance of a compact silicon photonics Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with a coiled sensing arm. A partially exposed sensor was fabricated using deep UV lithography, with a process resolution of 248 nm ...

Compact focusing grating couplers for silicon-on-insulator integrated circuits [PDF]
—We report experimental results on compact and broadband focusing grating couplers, both in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and gold on SOI. An eight-fold length reduction of the coupling structure from fiber to photonic wire in SOI, as com-pared to a linear ...

Focused-ion-beam fabricated vertical fiber couplers on silicon-on-insulator waveguides [PDF]
We fabricated grating couplers in silicon-on-insulator waveguides with focused-ion-beam. First devices were very lossy, but by using selective etchant and a hard mask we obtained efficiencies comparable to traditional fabrication ...
