“…First, an SOI waveguide with rib width 1800 nm, slab height 100 nm, SOI height 220 nm, propagation length 2 cm and one dip of width 400 nm and depth 70 nm is considered. Figure 2 shows the waveguide's geometry, which is the same as in Kernetzky et al (2020). Table 2 summarizes the input/output wavelengths and their corresponding modes, optimized for best efficiency of the OPC process.…”
