THOMSON1,* TITLE: Buried 3D spot-size converters for silicon photonics JOURNAL: to be confirmed PAPER DOI IF KNOWN: DOI: https://doi.org/10.1364/OPTICA.431064 This dataset contains: The figures are as follows: Fig. 3. Linear fitted optical losses of fabricated (1) silicon rib waveguides, (b) poly-si waveguides, slot waveguides (c) MOS-WG-C, slot waveguides (d) MOS-WG-B, slot waveguides (e) MOS-WG-A, and (f) mode transition tapers. Fig. 7. (a) Optical transmission spectra of a reference waveguide and a MZI, which has two arms consisted of 0.46 mm long MOS-WG-A waveguides. The inset is the GDS-II design of the MZI structure. (b) Zoomed in spectra around wavelength 1550 nm.
