TLDR
In this article, the SOI rib waveguides fabricated by wet chemical etching have been shown to have field mismatch losses as low as 0.1 dB/cm at a wavelength of /spl lambda/=1.3 /spl mu/m.Abstract:
Waveguide losses as low as 0.1 dB/cm at a wavelength of /spl lambda/=1.3 /spl mu/m have been achieved in SOI rib waveguides fabricated by wet chemical etching. The single-mode waveguides have a large cross section yielding field mismatch losses to a standard single-mode fiber of only 0.17 dB/facet (both polarizations). Polarization independent fiber-chip-fiber insertion losses of 0.9 dB (best 0.5 dB) at a chip length of 60 mm have been measured.read more
