Compact Integrated Silicon Photonic Mems Power Coupler For Programmable Photonics

Niels Quack, Hamed Sattari, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

Programmable photonics promise a plethora of optical functions while at the same time reducing the time and costs of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) development. One primary bottleneck for development of these systems is the difficulty in increasing comp ...

Low power optical phase shifter using liquid crystal actuation on a silicon photonics platform

Niels Quack, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

Low-power and compact phase shifters are crucial for large photonic circuits, both to cope with variability and to create programmable waveguide circuits scaling to thousands of tuning elements. This work demonstrates a liquid crystal phase shifter where a ...

Fully Reconfigurable Coupled-Resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs) with 10 nW Static Power MEMS

Niels Quack, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

We report on fully reconfigurable CROWs with MEMS-tunable waveguides. Resonatorto-resonator and resonator-to-waveguide coupling are fully tunable. Resonance of a resonator is also widely tunable to cover its full FSR. The static power consumption per tunab ...

16-Core Recirculating Programmable Si Photonic MEMS

Niels Quack, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

We report on a 16-core recirculating programmable photonic array based on MEMS-tunable directional couplers. The photonic array has a compact footprint (0.04mm(2)/cell) and negligible static power consumption. Waveguide-coupled single-ring resonators, CROW ...

Silicon Photonic MEMS Add-Drop Filter

Niels Quack, Hamed Sattari, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

We demonstrate a compact add-drop filter based on a MEMS ring resonator implemented in IMEC's iSiPP50G silicon photonics platform. The device exhibits a port extinction of 20 dB and a port isolation of > 50 dB, upon actuation range of 0 V to 27 V. ...

Integration of MEMS in Silicon Photonics

Alain Yuji Takabayashi

Like integrated electronics, integrated photonics such as Silicon Photonics benefit from increased device-density on a single chip. Silicon is an excellent material for integrated photonics because its high refractive index allows devices to be made small, ...
