摘要: We demonstrate compact, broadband, ultralow loss silicon waveguide crossings operating at 1550 nm and 1310 nm. Cross-wafer measurement of 30 dies shows transmission insertion − 0.028 ± 0.009 dB for the device 0.017 0.005 device. Both show crosstalk lower than 37 dB. The devices were fabricated in a CMOS-compatible process using 248 optical lithography with single etch step.
