TL;DR: This Letter presents a compact and low-loss 1×2 asymmetrical multimode interference (A-MMI) splitter in rib geometry for on-chip power monitoring at 1.55 μm, where a given alteration of the component cavity determines arbitrary values of the output power splitting ratios.

TL;DR: The design, fabrication and characterization of a carrier depletion silicon-photonic switch based on a highly doped vertical pn junction, which showcases the possibility of fabricating highly efficient carrier depletion-based silicon photonic switches using medium resolution lithography.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that this result is not directly applicable to shallow-etched/rib waveguide bends, and they show that the total losses caused by the bends reach a local minimum value for a certain range of compact radii and rib waveguide dimensions.

TL;DR: A low power, compact and high speed modulator in the O-band featuring apodized slow-light structures and a slow-wave RF design is presented in this paper, which is a candidate for future single mode optical interconnects in large-scale data centers.

TL;DR: This paper presents for the first time a programmable 4x4 Silicon Photonic switch that supports SDN through the use of BF-labeled router ports, and significantly simplifies packet forwarding as it negates the need for large forwarding tables and allows for its remote control through modifications in the assigned BF labels.
