C-Band and O-Band Silicon Photonic Based Low-Power Variable Optical Attenuators

We propose and experimentally demonstrate low-power and broadband variable optical attenuators (VOAs) on the silicon photonics platform. The VOAs are based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure. Different variations were fabricated using electron beam lithography using different input and outpu...
