High quality waveguides for the mid-infrared wavelength range in a silicon-on-sapphire platform

Applied Physics 2017-05-30 v1 Optics

Abstract

We report record low loss silicon-on-sapphire nanowires for applications to mid infrared optics. We achieve propagation losses as low as 0.8dB/cm at 1550nm, 1.1 to 1.4dB/cm at 2080nm and < 2dB/cm at = 5.18 microns.
