Subwavelength materials have become a fundamental tool for silicon photonic design, enabling devices with unique performance characteristics. We will briefly review some fundamentals here and will then discuss some of the ...

Photonic systems built on the Silicon-on-Insulator platform exhibit a strong birefringence, and must thus be operated with a single polarization for most applications. Hence, on-chip polarizers that can effectively suppress ...

Los dispositivos de interferencia multimodal (MMI) son un bloque funcional fundamental en óptica integrada. La creciente demanda de capacidad en los enlaces de comunicaciones ópticas motiva la búsqueda de nuevas formas de ...

Silicon photonics systems exhibit a strong birefrin- gence which makes polarization management critical. Here we demonstrate, with full 3D-FDTD simulations, a low-loss and high- extinction ratio TM-pass polarizer based on ...

High-index contrast silicon waveguides exhibit strong birefringence that hinders the development of polarization-insensitive devices, especially for sub-micrometer silicon layer thickness. Here a polarizationindependent 2 ...

In this talk we present our recent advances in SWG metamaterial engineering. We will show a 1D-optical phased array composed of 112 evanescent-coupled surface emitting antennas with a length of 1.5 mm and fed by a compact ...
