The realisation of singlemode rib waveguides in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) having a width and height of several micrometres is reported. Measurements at a wavelength of 1x3 and 1x55fm yield waveguide losses below 0x5dB/cm and an excellent agreement of the near field intensity distribution with the one predicted by a BPM simulation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
