Download or read book Optimization Driven Design and Operation of Foundry Fabricated Silicon Photonics written by Jason Chi Chun Mak and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by growing capabilities to realize geometrically complex silicon (Si) devices and large scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs), this thesis explores the use of optimization algorithms for design and operation of Si photonics. Optimization procedures are implemented for designing and operating grating couplers, power splitters, and microring optical filters at telecommunication wavelengths. The devices reported in this thesis were fabricated in foundry Si photonics processes at A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics or CEA-Leti using deep ultra-violet lithography on 8" wafers. First, we present an optimization design procedure for bi-layer silicon nitride-on-silicon (SiN-on-Si) grating couplers (GCs). We designed the first SiN-on-Si GCs for the O-band in a new platform. Cross-wafer measurements showed a median peak coupling efficiency of -2.1 dB and a 1-dB bandwidth of 70.8 nm. We also present 3-layer SiN-SiN-Si one-dimensional polarization-independent grating couplers (PI-GCs) designed by optimization methods. The best-performing PI-GC had a peak coupling efficiency of -4.8 dB and a 1-dB polarization-dependent loss bandwidth of >100 nm, setting a record for PI-GCs. The higher than expected loss was likely due to fabrication imperfections in one of the SiN layers. Next, we report the first topology-optimized devices fabricated in a foundry process, a Si photonic 2x2 3-dB splitter within a 4.8 um x 4.8 um footprint. Despite not respecting design rules, the design with the smaller cells had lower insertion losses and broader bandwidth and showed consistent behavior across the wafer. However, results point towards the need to improve consistency between simulation the fabricated devices in future work. Finally, we demonstrate multi-variable tuning control that incorporates optimization algorithms to guide the tuning of multiple phase-shifters simultaneously. Multi-variable control becomes indispensable for PICs with a large (” 10) number of constituent devices by reducing the number of electrical inputs/outputs and simplifying packaging. Repeatable resonance alignment and wavelength tracking in a 5-ring optical filter and a programmable 2-ring Butterworth filter are demonstrated. An application to switch matrix tuning is also explored. Taken together, this thesis showcases how optimization methods can open up new directions for advancing the field of foundry fabricated Si photonics.

Download or read book Silicon Based Photonics written by Erich Kasper and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon photonics has evolved rapidly as a research topic with enormous application potential. The high refractive index contrast of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) shows great promise for submicron waveguide structures suited for integration on the chip scale in the near-infrared region. Ge- and GeSn-Si heterostructures with different elastic strain levels already provide expansion of the spectral range, high-speed operation, efficient modulation and switching of optical signals, and enhanced light emission and lasing. This book focuses on the integration of heterostructure devices with silicon photonics. The authors have attempted to merge a concise treatment of classical silicon photonics with a description of principles, prospects, challenges, and technical solution paths of adding silicon-based heterostructures. The book discusses the basics of heterostructure-based silicon photonics, system layouts, and key device components, keeping in mind the application background. Special focus is placed on SOI-based waveguide configurations and Ge- and GeSn-Si heterostructure devices for light detection, modulation, and light emission and lasing. The book also provides an overview of the technological and materials science challenges connected with integration on silicon. The first half of the book is mainly for readers who are interested in the topic because of its increasing importance in different fields, while the latter half covers different device structures for light emission, detection, modulation, extension of the wavelength beyond 1.6 μm, and lasing, as well as future challenges.
