Ultra-broadband mode (de)multiplexer based on a sub-wavelength engineered MMI coupler
09:00-09:15
2017-10-04 09:00 2017-10-04 09:15 America/Denver Ultra-broadband mode (de)multiplexer based on a sub-wavelength engineered MMI coupler We present an ultra-broadband two-mode de/multiplexer based on a multimode interference coupler with sub-wavelength grating waveguides, a symmetric Y-junction and a 90º phase shifter. Numerical simulations show insertion losses below 0.18 dB and crosstalk lower than -20.6 dB in a 300 nm wavelength range. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Salon VIII

A Silicon Nitride Grating Coupler for Efficient Coupling between Waveguide and Fiber
09:15-09:30
2017-10-04 09:15 2017-10-04 09:30 America/Denver A Silicon Nitride Grating Coupler for Efficient Coupling between Waveguide and Fiber A compact grating with relaxed alignment tolerance for coupling between a fiber and a silicon nitride waveguide is presented. The measured peak coupling efficiency is 22% and the 3dB bandwidth is 58 nm. The fabrication of gratings does not require any etching of materials. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Salon VIII

From Semiconductor Nanolasers to Photonic Integrated Circuits Invited
09:30-10:00
2017-10-04 09:30 2017-10-04 10:00 America/Denver From Semiconductor Nanolasers to Photonic Integrated Circuits Nanolasers have recently become excellent candidates for light sources in densely-packed chip-scale circuits. We summarize recent progress in III-V semiconductor nanolasers and the perspective of their insertion into photonic integrated circuits. We also discuss nanolasers based on emerging semiconducting materials on the silicon platform. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Salon VIII
