For the designs, two different waveguide structures were used, i.e. ridge and rib waveguides. The splitters were designed for 850 nm spectral optical window and the simulations were performed applying FEM and BPM methods in RSoft photonic tool. The aim of this work was to find minimum physical dimensions of the designed splitters occupying minimal space on PIC chip. The optimization was done with regards to high symmetrical splitting ratio and low insertion loss. Finally, the optical properties of both splitters were studied and compared with each other.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SeyringerGajdosovaChovanetal.2019, author = {Seyringer, Dana and Gajdosova, Lenka and Chovan, Jozef and Figura, Daniel and Uherek, Frantisek}, title = {Comparison of silicon nitride based 8-channel 100-GHz AWGs applying different waveguide structures}, series = {Proceedings of ADEPT 2019. 7th International Conference on Advances in Electronic and Photonic Technologies.

The AWG was designed for TM-polarized light with central wavelength of 850 nm. The input design parameters were calculated applying AWG-Parameters tool. For this purpose, we created a ridge waveguide structure, used in the design of the AWG layout, and performed FEM simulation. The output of the BPM simulation of AWG structure are the transmission characteristics, which was used to calculate transmission parameters defining optical properties of simulated AWG. The achieved simulation results are in a good agreement with the design.}, language = {en} }
