Analysis of optical integration between Si3N4 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[subscript 0.83]Si[subscript 0.17] lateral taper to enable a low-loss small-footprint optical coupling between a Si[subscript 3]N[subscript 4] waveguide and a low-voltage Ge-based Franz-Keldysh optical modulator on a bulk Si substrat...
