ABSTRACT

On-chip pump rejection filters are key building blocks in a variety of applications exploiting nonlinear phenomena, including Raman spectroscopy and photon-pair generation. Ultrahigh rejection has been achieved in the silicon technology by non-coherent cascading of modal-engineered Bragg filters. However, this concept cannot be directly applied to silicon nitride waveguides as the comparatively lower index contrast hampers the suppression of residual light propagating in the orthogonal polarization, limiting the achievable rejection. Here, we propose and demonstrate a novel, to the best of our knowledge, strategy to overcome this limitation based on non-coherent cascading of the modal- and polarization-engineered Bragg filters. Based on this concept, we experimentally demonstrate a rejection exceeding 60 dB for both polarizations, with a bandwidth of 4.4 nm. This is the largest rejection reported for silicon nitride Bragg gratings supporting both polarizations.

ABSTRACT

Silicon nitride-on-silicon bi-layer grating couplers were designed for the O-band using an optimization-based procedure that accounted for design rules and fabricated on a 200 mm wafer. The designs were sufficiently robust to fabrication variations to function well across the wafer. A peak fiber-to-chip coupling efficiency to standard single mode fiber of -2.2 dB and a 1-dB bandwidth of 72.9 nm was achieved in the representative device. Over several chips across the wafer, we measured a median peak coupling efficiency of -2.1 dB and median 1-dB bandwidth of 70.8 nm. The measurements had good correspondence with simulation.

ABSTRACT

Under appropriate laser exposure, a thin film of InSb exhibits a sub-wavelength thermally modified area that can be used to focus light beyond the diffraction limit. This technique, called Super-Resolution Near-Field Structure, is a potential candidate for ultrahigh density optical data storage and many other high-resolution applications. We combined near field microscopy, confocal microscopy and time resolved pump-probe technique to directly measure the induced sub-diffraction limited spot in the near-field regime. The measured spot size was found to be dependent on the laser power and a decrease of 25% (100 nm) was observed. Experimental evidences that support a threshold-like simulation model to describe the effect are also provided. The experimental data are in excellent agreement with rigorous simulations obtained with a three dimensional Finite Element Method code.

ABSTRACT

Mode coupling phenomena, manifested by transmission "ministopbands", occur in two-dimensional photonic crystal channel waveguides. The huge difference in the group velocities of the coupled modes is a new feature with respect to the classical Bragg reflection occurring, e.g., in distributed feedback lasers. We show that an adequate ansatz of the classical coupled-mode theory remarkably well accounts for this new phenomenon. The fit of experimental transmission data from GaAs-based photonic crystal waveguides then leads to an accurate determination of the propagation losses of both fundamental and higher, low-group-velocity modes.
