Abstract

The realization of single-mode rib-waveguides with dimensions of several micrometers in Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) is reported. The predicted monomode behaviour is confirmed by comparison of a simulated and a measured nearfield intensity distribution. Waveguide losses below 0.5dB/cm were obtained at wavelengths of 1.3μm and 1.55μm, respectively, independent of the polarization state.
