We describe a novel, versatile process for fabricating integrated Bragg-grating devices. Our process addresses many of the critical challenges presented by such devices, including period selection, alignment, spatial coherence, and nanolithography. Using a combination of e-beam, x-ray, optical, and interference lithographies, we have successfully employed this process to construct 244 nm period, quarter-wave-shifted Bragg gratings on top of 1-m-tall waveguide structures in InP.
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.
