An integrated photonic platform with anchored-membrane structures, the T-Guide, is proposed and numerically investigated. These compact air-clad structures have high index contrast and are much more stable than prior membrane-type…
Mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) is attractive as a means to increase the link capacity of a single wavelength for optical interconnects via the use of multiple mode-channels in multimode bus waveguide.In order to route the data in MDM…
The multimode waveguide bends (MWBs) with very compact sizes are the key building blocks in the applications of different mode-division multiplexing (MDM) systems. To further increase the transmission capacity, the silicon multimode…

Unidirectional propagation based on surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) has recently been realized at the interface of magnetized semiconductors. However, usually SMPs lose their unidirectionality due to non-local effects, especially in the…
We demonstrate a single-mode phononic waveguide that enables robust propagation of mechanical waves. The waveguide is a highly-stressed silicon nitride membrane that supports the propagation of out-of-plane modes. In direct analogy to…

Direct laser writing of surface waveguides with ultrashort pulses is a crucial achievement towards all-laser manufacturing of photonic integrated circuits sensitive to their environment. In this Letter, few-cycle laser pulses (with a sub-10…
The structure of an optical waveguide determines the characteristics of its guided modes, such as their spatial profile and group index. General features are shared by modes regardless of the waveguiding structure; for example, modal…
