All-UV-written integrated planar Bragg gratings and channel waveguides with no phase mask
All-UV-written integrated planar Bragg gratings and channel waveguides with no phase mask
Direct UV writing provides an attractive route towards low-cost integrated optical components in photosensitive silica-on-silicon wafers. Combining closely packed channel waveguides with a Bragg grating tailored spectral response would allow the creation of compact systems for wavelength division multiplexing on a single optical chip. To this end, we present our new technique for simultaneous definition of channel waveguides with integral Bragg gratings based on the interference of two focussed UV-writing beams. This single-step approach promotes optimal use of sample photosensitivity for both the waveguide geometry and Bragg grating structure and allows implementation of many aspects of advanced grating design, such as chirp and apodisation, with no need for a phase mask.

Abstract
Direct UV writing provides an attractive route towards low-cost integrated optical components in photosensitive silica-on-silicon wafers. Combining closely packed channel waveguides with a Bragg grating tailored spectral response would allow the creation of compact systems for wavelength division multiplexing on a single optical chip. To this end, we present our new technique for simultaneous definition of channel waveguides with integral Bragg gratings based on the interference of two focussed UV-writing beams. This single-step approach promotes optimal use of sample photosensitivity for both the waveguide geometry and Bragg grating structure and allows implementation of many aspects of advanced grating design, such as chirp and apodisation, with no need for a phase mask.
