Fabrication of 2times8 Power Splitters in Silica-on-Silicon by the Direct UV Writing Technique

In this letter, we present the first demonstration of 2times8 power splitters made in silica-on-silicon by direct ultraviolet (UV) writing. The fabricated components are compact and exhibit good performance in terms of loss, uniformity, and bandwidth, showing that direct UV writing can become a comp...

Description
Summary:In this letter, we present the first demonstration of 2times8 power splitters made in silica-on-silicon by direct ultraviolet (UV) writing. The fabricated components are compact and exhibit good performance in terms of loss, uniformity, and bandwidth, showing that direct UV writing can become a competitive technology for fabrication of low-cost integrated optical devices.
