  2. 1. Technology for photonic components in silica/silicon material structure

    Author : Lech Wosinski; KTH; []
    Keywords : silica-on-silicon technology; PECVD; plasma deposition; photonic integrated circuits; planar waveguide devices; UV Bragg gratings; photosensitivity; arrayed waveguide gratings; multimode interference couplers; add-drop multiplexers;

    Abstract : The main objectives of this thesis were to develop a lowtemperature PECVD process suitable for optoelectronicintegration, and to optimize silica glass composition forUV-induced modifications of a refractive index in PECVDfabricated planar devices. The most important achievement isthe successful development of a low temperature silicadeposition, which for the first time makes it is possible tofabricate good quality low loss integrated components whilekeeping the temperature below 250oC during the entirefabrication process.

    Abstract : The characteristics of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguide, including the bending loss of a multimode bent waveguide and the birefringence of a rib waveguide, are analyzed by using a finite-difference method (FDM). Based on a detailed analysis for a multimode bent waveguide, an appropriately designed multimode bent waveguide for reducing effectively the bending loss of the fundamental mode is realized.

  5. 3. Design and Characterization of SiN-based integrated optical components for Wavelength Division Multiplexing

    Author : Alexander Caut; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crosstalk; silicon nitride.; Mach-Zehnder interferometers; polarization; grating couplers; insertion loss; power splitters; arrayed waveguide gratings; silicon photonics;

    Abstract : To follow the trend of the data traffic and to limit the size of the hyperscale data centers, communication solutions offering small footprint, low cost and low power consumption are needed. Optical interconnects used in data centers are mostly short reach (approximately 100 m) based on GaAs-based 850 nm vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and OM4 multimode fibers (MMF).
