In this work, we demonstrate dispersion engineering of silicon nitride waveguide resonators with atomic layer deposition (ALD). We conducted theoretical and experimental analyses on the waveguide dispersion with air cladding, hafnium oxide (HfO2) cladding, and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) cladding. By employing ALD HfO2 as the cladding layer, the dispersion of waveguide can be tuned to a finer degree in the normal regime at a wavelength of 1550 nm. On the other hand, using ALD Al2O3 cladding provides the waveguide dispersion that spans regimes in normal, near-zero, and anomalous dispersion.
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.
