Analysis of Leakage Loss in Silicon Photonics with Finite Gain Compensation

Silicon waveguides fabricated on silicon-on-insulator wafers are leaky in nature. This fact puts a lower bound on the insulator thickness in silicon photonic structures as integrated with compact electronic devices. We examine this constraint from the angle of finite gain compensation for leakage lo...
