We demonstrate an electroabsorption modulator on a silicon substrate based on the quantum confined Stark effect in strained germanium quantum wells with silicon-germanium barriers. The peak contrast ratio is 7.3 dB at 1457 nm for a 10 V swing, and exceeds 3 dB from 1441 nm to 1461 nm. The novel side-entry structure employs an asymmetric Fabry-Perot resonator at oblique incidence. Unlike waveguide modulators, the design is insensitive to positional misalignment, maintaining > 3 dB contrast while translating the incident beam 87 mum and 460 mum in orthogonal directions. Since the optical ports are on the substrate edges, the wafer top and bottom are left free for electrical interconnections and thermal management.

We report on the first demonstration of guiding light in vertical slot-waveguides on silicon nitride/silicon oxide material system. Integrated ring resonators and Fabry-Perot cavities have been fabricated and characterized in order to determine optical features of the slot-waveguides. Group index behavior evidences guiding and confinement in the low-index slot region at O-band (1260-1370nm) telecommunication wavelengths. Propagation losses of <20 dB/cm have been measured for the transverse-electric mode of the slot-waveguides.

Compact silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide thermo-optically tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors are demonstrated. Quality factors of Q=4,584 are measured with finesse F=82. Tuning is achieved by flowing current directly through the silicon cavity resulting in efficient thermo-optic tuning over 2 nm for less than 50 mW applied electrical power. The high-Q cavities enable fast switching (1.9 mus rise time) at low drive power (<10 mW). By overdriving the device, rise times of 640 ns are obtained. Various device improvements are discussed.

Using finite-difference time-domain method, we characterize the normal-incidence transmission properties of a two slab photonic crystal device in a view of its applications in fluorescence enhancement and multi-analyte detection. Individual slabs consist of a square or a triangular lattice of air holes embedded into a silicon nitride slab. The geometrical parameters are chosen so that the individual slabs operate in a guided resonance regime where strong reflectivity under the normal incidence angle is observed in a broad spectral range. When placed in the close proximity of each other, the two photonic crystal slab system exhibits a narrow Fabry-Perot type transmission peak corresponding to the excitation of a resonant mode in the cavity formed by the two slabs. We then study the effects of the size of the air gap between the two photonic crystal slabs on the spectral position and bandwidth of a resonance transmission peak. Finally, we investigate the electromagnetic energy distributions at the wavelength of a transmission resonance in the double slab photonic crystals. As a final result we demonstrate that this structure can provide electric field enhancement at the slab surface, which can be used for fluorescence enhancement.

A spectroscopic technique based on a full four port modeling and measurement is developed and utilized to study a tapered- fiber photonic crystal waveguide coupler. The coupler is made by directly situating the tapered fiber on the defect region of a silicon membrane photonic crystal waveguide. The waveguide is lithographically terminated resulting a Fabry- Perot cavity. It turns out that the line-shape of the resonances is not merely a Lorentzian but can be constructed from that of the unloaded waveguide resonator. By knowing how the resonances broaden the experimental data is then fit and the coupling efficiency is extracted for the entire spectrum.

In this work we present both experimental and theoretical thermal analysis of an electrically pumped hybrid silicon evanescent laser. Measurements of an 850 mum long Fabry-Perot structure show an overall characteristic temperature of 51 oC, an above threshold characteristic temperature of 100 oC, and a thermal impedance of 41.8 oC/W. Finite element analysis of the laser structure predicts a thermal impedance of 43.5 oC/W, which is within 5% of the experimental results. Using the overall characteristic temperature, above threshold characteristic temperature, and the measured thermal impedance, the continuous wave output power vs. current from the laser is simulated and is in good agreement with experiment.

This paper presents a novel Fabry-Perot (FP) optical fiber pressure/acoustic sensor. It consists of two V-shaped grooves having different sized widths, a diaphragm on the surface of the larger V-groove, and a 45 degrees angle-polished fiber. The precision of FP cavity length is determined by the fabrication process of photolithography and anisotropic etching of a silicon crystal. Therefore, the cavity length can be controlled on the order of ten nm. Sensors were fabricated and tested. Test results indicate that the sensors' cavity lengths have been controlled precisely. The packaged sensor has demonstrated very good static and dynamic responses compared to a commercially available pressure sensor and a microphone.

The operation at 1.5 microm of a silicon Fabry-Perot optical modulator is reported. The electrically driven device, which uses the thermo-optic effect to achieve as much as a 55% intensity modulation depth, has been realized by means of standard silicon microelectronic technology. This demonstrates that this new type of optical modulator can easily be integrated with electronic circuits. An accurate three-dimensional thermal analysis of the device has permitted the setup of a reliable numerical code aimed at the design of optimized integrated versions of it. The simulation outputs therefore predict operation frequencies of hundreds of kilohertz, remarkably superior to those previously reported in thermo-optic-effect-based modulators.

Straight and S-bend rib waveguide structures with a novel design have been fabricated and characterized on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. For a typical straight rib waveguide, the single-mode waveguide at lambda approximately 1550 nm has been verified by measuring the near-field output with an IR camera, and a nearly polarization-independent mode size is found to be approximately 10 microm x 4.5 microm. The waveguide loss has been estimated from low-finesse Fabry-Perot transmission characteristics, and a typical value of approximately 0.5 dB/cm is obtained. It is also shown experimentally that the bending radius of an asymmetrically etched S-bend waveguide can be ten times smaller than that of conventional symmetrically etched S-bend waveguides for similar optical losses. These bend waveguides (bending radii of approximately 1500 microm) are found to be low loss (<2.5 dB) and nearly polarization independent.

A new amorphous silicon waveguide is realized by use of amorphous silicon carbon as cladding material. The structure is characterized both experimentally and theoretically, and its application for optical interconnections in photonic integrated circuits on silicon motherboards is proposed. The fabrication process is based on low-temperature (220 degrees C) plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition and is compatible with standard microelectronic processes. Propagation losses of 1.8 dB/cm have been measured at the fiber-optic wavelength of 1.3 microm. A strong thermo-optic coefficient has been measured in this material at this wavelength and exploited for the realization of a light-intensity modulator based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer that is tunable by temperature.
