Group-index birefringence and loss measurements in silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguides
Abstract
Group-index birefringence in silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguides is determined through a polarization beating technique and a Fabry-Pérot resonance method. A large group-index birefringence, up to 0.67, is obtained as a result of the structural asymmetry and high field confinement of our waveguides. The group index and linear propagation loss are also determined. In particular, the group index is found to be as large as 4.45 due to …
