Low-Loss Silicon Wire Waveguides with 3-D Tapered Couplers Fabricated by Self Profile Transformation

A novel low-loss silicon wire waveguide as well as 3-D tapered couplers is demonstrated by self profile transformation for the first time. The preliminary experimental results show the propagation loss is 2 dB/cm and the coupler loss is 2.7 dB.
