Optical pump-rejection filter based on silicon sub-wavelength engineered photonic structures Pérez-Galacho, Diego Alonso-Ramos, Carlos Mazeas, Florent Le Roux, Xavier Oser, Dorian Zhang, Weiwei Marris-Morini, Delphine Labonté, Laurent Tanzilli, Sébastien Cassan, Éric Vivien, Laurent Comunicaciones ópticas The high index contrast of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform allows the realization of ultra-compact photonic circuits. However, this high contrast hinders the implementation of narrow-band Bragg filters. These typically require corrugations widths of a few nanometers or double-etch geometries, hampering device fabrication. Here we report, for the first time, on the realization of SOI Bragg filters based on sub-wavelength index engineering in a differential corrugation width configuration. The proposed double periodicity structure allows narrow-band rejection with a single etch step and relaxed width constraints. Based on this concept, we experimentally demonstrate a single-etch, 220 nm thick, Si Bragg filter featur- ing a corrugation width of 150 nm, a rejection bandwidth of 1.1 nm and an extinction ratio exceeding 40 dB. This represents a ten-fold width increase compared to conventional single-periodicity, single-etch counterparts with similar bandwidths 2024-09-28T15:09:56Z 2024-09-28T15:09:56Z 2024-09-28T15:09:56Z 2017-04-04 journal article Diego Pérez-Galacho, Carlos Alonso-Ramos, Florent Mazeas, Xavier Le Roux, Dorian Oser, Weiwei Zhang, Delphine Marris-Morini, Laurent Labonté, Sébastien Tanzilli, Éric Cassan, and Laurent Vivien, "Optical pump-rejection filter based on silicon sub-wavelength engineered photonic structures," Opt.
