Analysis of Optical Integration between Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> Waveguide and a Ge-Based Optical Modulator Using a Lateral Amorphous GeSi Taper at the Telecommunication Wavelength of 1.55 µm

We report on the theoretical investigation of using an amorphous Ge<sub>0.83</sub>Si<sub>0.17</sub> lateral taper to enable a low-loss small-footprint optical coupling between a Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> waveguide and a low-voltage Ge-based Franz&...
