Thin-Film Interference Effect in Scattering Loss of High-Index-Contrast Planar Waveguides
Abstract
We show by theoretical analysis and experiments on submicrometer silicon-on-insulator channel waveguides that the optical scattering loss of high-index-contrast planar waveguides is modified significantly by a thin-film interference effect, caused by boundary reflections.
