Sub-Wavelength Nanostructures for Engineering the Effective Index of Silicon-On-Insulator Waveguides
Abstract
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is considered the most promising high-index-contrast waveguide platform for fabricating microphotonic devices with high integration density. However, there are fundamental challenges with this waveguide system related to the fixed values of the refractive indices of the constituent materials (Si and SiO2). In this paper, we present a method that can potentially circumvent this limitation by using the sub-wavelength …
