A new silicon based waveguide with full CMOS compatibility is developed to fabricate an on-chip Bragg cladding waveguide that has an oxide core surrounded by a high index contrast cladding layers. The cladding consists of several dielectric bilayers, where each bilayer consists of a high index-contrast pair of layers of Si and Si3N4. This new waveguide guides light based on omnidirectional reflection, reflecting light at any angle or polarization back into the core. Its fabrication is fully compatible with current microelectronics processes. In principle, a core of any low-index material can be realized with our novel structure, including air. Potential applications include tight turning radii, high power transmission, and dispersion compensation.

In this Letter, we propose a new method utilizing femtosecond laser direct writing technology to rapidly inscribe high-quality tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) in multicore fibers (MCFs). A series of TFBGs with varying tilt angles were directly inscribed in MCFs using the Plane-by-Plane (Pl-by-Pl) method, and the writing time for a 4 mm long TFBG was only 3.60 s.

The Parallel-CLRFBGs effectively control light scattering and interference, enhancing system feedback through increased backward Rayleigh scattering. Compared to conventional axially cascaded random gratings, gratings aligned in parallel within sub-centimeter cladding improve the integration of a laser system.

Spectral filters are fundamental building blocks in integrated photonics. Bragg grating filters have been demonstrated in silicon waveguides with a wide range of spectral responses and are suitable for wavelength division multiplexing applications. However, retrieving Bragg grating reflections typically requires external components such as fiber optic circulators.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA new type of small-period long-period fiber grating (SP-LPFG) consisting of a series of annuli inscribed by a femtosecond laser in a single-mode fiber is proposed and demonstrated. The effects of the annuli radii and the number of annuli in each period on the transmission spectrum are studied. The transmission spectrum of the annular SP-LPFG exhibits both strong Bragg resonances and cladding mode resonances, which have similar temperature sensitivities of 9.
