Reduction of Propagation Loss in Pillar-Based Photonic Crystal Waveguides

Abstract: Abstract-Out-of-plane losses are the major issue in the integration of two-dimensional photonic crystal devices in photonic integrated circuits. In this paper, we show that the out-of-plane losses of pillar-based photonic crystal waveguides can be vastly reduced, even for pillars with a low vertical index contrast, such as in InP/InGaAsP/InP technology. These low losses are obtained by creating confinement between the pillars with a polymer layer stack. We show that the spatial frequency component of the Bloch… Show more

“…Typically, pillar-based PCs have several advantages such as low out-of-plane losses, propagation loss, easy fabrication, compatibility with classical PICs, and effective single mode operation due to defectsbased structure. 33 Owing to the above mentioned advantages, we conceived a 2-D pillar-type circular PCRR-based ADF design in a square lattice. The details of the circular PCRR-based ADF are discussed in the next section.…”

“…Also the fabrication of this structure is easier because of simple geometry and can easily control the propagation modes. And, the rod type PCs have several advantages than holes type PCs such as low out-of-plane loss, propagation loss, easy fabrication, compatible with classical photonic integrated circuits, and effective single mode operation [24]. It is witnessed that the pillar type circular Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator (PCRR) offers substantial performance [25] than square, quasi square, dual quasi square and hexagonal PCRRs.…”
