Silicon waveguides and devices for the mid-infrared
Silicon waveguides and devices for the mid-infrared
We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of silicon-on-insulator rib and strip waveguides at wavelengths longer than 3.7µm. Propagation losses of 1.5±0.2 dB/cm at 3.73µm and 1.8±0.2 dB/cm at 3.8µm have been measured for rib waveguides, whilst submicron strip waveguides exhibited propagation losses of 4.6±1.1 dB/cm at the wavelength of 3.74µm. A 1×2 multimode interference (MMI) splitter and racetrack resonators based on submicron strip waveguides are also examined. Optical losses of 3.6±0.2 dB/MMI and a racetrack resonator Q-value of 8.2k are obtained at 3.74µm.

Abstract
We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of silicon-on-insulator rib and strip waveguides at wavelengths longer than 3.7µm. Propagation losses of 1.5±0.2 dB/cm at 3.73µm and 1.8±0.2 dB/cm at 3.8µm have been measured for rib waveguides, whilst submicron strip waveguides exhibited propagation losses of 4.6±1.1 dB/cm at the wavelength of 3.74µm. A 1×2 multimode interference (MMI) splitter and racetrack resonators based on submicron strip waveguides are also examined. Optical losses of 3.6±0.2 dB/MMI and a racetrack resonator Q-value of 8.2k are obtained at 3.74µm.
