Addressing the Challenges of Silicon Waveguides with Subwavelength Nanostructures

Planar waveguide devices have been made progressively smaller, resulting in higher integration density, more functions on a single chip, greater yields and lower cost. In particular, the high refractive index contrast (Δn ~ 2) of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material platform permits waveguide ben...
