Application Note: APSUNY Low-Loss Waveguide Components
The low-loss waveguide is a compound element that was modeled with a 2-port s-parameter matrix. It is not a uniform waveguide so there is no "refractive index" for this component. The reflection is governed by the S11 of the s-parameter matrix and ...
Application Note: APSUNY Microdisk Modulator Heater
The heater resistance of two active components is updated based on the latest verification results. They are C+L Band Microdisk Modulator (channel 0-3) and O Band Microdisk Modulator. The current resistance is 6 kW rather than 2 kW in the previous ...
Waveguide Loss
As published in the PDK documentation, 480nm wide silicon (SE) waveguides have a propagation loss of <2.5dB/cm around 1550nm. As expected, larger waveguides (500 or 550nm) will have lower losses and smaller (450 or 400nm) will have higher losses. ...
