    摘要: A method of reducing the scattering losses that involves smoothing of the core/cladding interface and/or change of waveguide geometry in high refractive index difference waveguides. As an example, the SOI-based Si/SiO2 waveguides are subjected to an oxidation reaction at high temperatures, after the waveguide patterning process. By oxidizing the rough silicon core surfaces after the patterning process, the core/cladding interfaces are smoothened, reducing the roughness scattering in waveguides.

    摘要: A planar waveguide that has a graded index layer at the core/cladding interface to reduce scattering losses due to core/cladding interface roughness. The refractive index at the core/cladding interface is changed from that of the core to that of cladding gradually by having a graded index layer. The graded index layer reduces the scattering of light traveling in the waveguide by reducing the effect of the roughness at the abrupt interface between the core and the cladding. Using a proper design, the graded index layer also minimizes the modal and polarization dispersion of the optical mode traveling in the waveguide.

    摘要: A mode transformer that enables low-loss coupling between optical modes of two waveguides with different index difference. The mode size and the effective index are gradually changed between two waveguides to gradually transform the mode shape, size, and speed with minimum power loss. The mode transformer is useful for coupling the mode of an optical fiber waveguide with low index difference to the mode of a planar high index difference waveguide, and vice versa.
