Two-dimensional extreme skin depthengineering for CMOS photonics
2021
Extreme skin depth engineering (e-skid) can be applied to integrated
photonics to manipulate the evanescent field of a waveguide. Here we
demonstrate that e-skid can be implemented in two directions in order to
deterministically engineer the evanescent wave allowing for dense
integration with enhanced functionalities. In particular, by increasing
the skin depth, we enable the creation of two-dimensional (2D) e-skid
directional couplers with large gaps and operational bandwidth. Here we
experimentally validate 2D e-skid for integrated photonics in a
complementary metal–oxide semiconductor (CMOS) photonics foundry and
demonstrate strong coupling with a gap of 1.44 µm.
