Metamaterial-Engineered Silicon Beam Splitter Fabricated with Deep UV Immersion Lithography
Subwavelength grating (SWG) metamaterials have garnered a great interest for their singular capability to shape the material properties and the propagation of light, allowing the realization of devices with unprecedented performance. However, practical SWG implementations are limited by fabrication …

Integrated electro-optical modulator in the mid-IR spectral range
Spectroscopy sensing in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) range (2−20 μm wavelength) is an unambiguous way to detect and quantify small traces of environmental and toxic vapors. However, current mid-IR devices are often based on a free-space configuration, thus becoming bulky …

Silicon phase and intensity modulators for flat frequency comb generation
References Optical frequency combs are an essential tool in many fields. To generate them, it is possible to exploit silicon photonics phase and amplitude modulators. In this work we numerically investigate the performance of such devices for the generation …
