Low-loss silicon nitride photonics: a process for unlocking high performance nonlinear optics.

Results presented at the SPIE Nanophotonics XI conference (Proc. SPIE 14076, May 2026) Silicon nitride (SiN) has established itself as an important material platform for integrated photonics due to its compatibility with CMOS fabrication processes, facilitating large scale-manufacturing and integration with existing photonics and electronics platforms. Its wide transparency window, low linear loss, moderate Kerr nonlinearity, and absence of …
