A1 Cheben, Pavel K1 Fotónica K1 Guías de ondas AB Waveguides structured at the subwavelength scale frustrate di raction and behave as optical metamaterials with controllable refractive index. These structures have found widespread applications in silicon photonics,ranging from sub-decibel e ciency bre-chip couplers to spectrometers and polarization rotators. Here, we briefly describe the design foundations for sub-wavelength waveguide devices, both in terms of analytic e ectivemedium approximations, as well as through rigorous Floch-Bloquet mode simulation. We then focus on two novel structures that exemplify the use of subwavelength waveguides: mid-infrared waveguides and ultra-broadbandbeamsplitters.
