A CMOS Compatible Ultracompact Silicon Photonic Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer with Misaligned Sidewall Bragg Gratings
We experimentally and via simulations demonstrate ultracompact single-stage and cascaded optical add-drop multiplexers using misaligned sidewall Bragg grating in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for the silicon-on-insulator platform. The single-stage configuration has a device footprint of 400 �...

| description | We experimentally and via simulations demonstrate ultracompact single-stage and cascaded optical add-drop multiplexers using misaligned sidewall Bragg grating in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for the silicon-on-insulator platform. The single-stage configuration has a device footprint of 400 μm × 90 μm, and the cascaded configuration has a footprint of 400 μm × 125 μm. The proposed designs have 3-dB bandwidths of 6 nm and extinction ratios of 25 dB and 51 dB, respectively, and have been fabricated for the transverse electric mode. A minimum lithographic feature size of 80 nm is used in our design, which is within the limitation of 193 nm deep ultraviolet lithography. |
