We demonstrate high-extraction-rate TaO-core/SiO-clad photonic waveguides on silicon fabricated by the photolithography-assisted chemo-mechanical etching technique. Low-confinement waveguides of larger than 70% coupling efficiency with optical fibers and medium propagation loss around 1 dB/cm are investigated in the experiment. Monolithic microring resonators based on TaO waveguides have shown the quality factors to be above 10 near 1550 nm. The demonstrated TaO waveguides and their fabrication method hold great promise in various cost-effective applications, such as optical interconnecting and switching.
我们展示了通过光刻辅助化学机械蚀刻技术在硅上制备的高提取率TaO芯/SiO包层光子波导。实验研究了与光纤耦合效率大于70%且传播损耗约为1 dB/cm的低限制波导。基于TaO波导的单片微环谐振器在1550 nm附近的品质因数已超过10。所展示的TaO波导及其制造方法在诸如光互连和开关等各种具有成本效益的应用中具有很大的前景。
