Title
Development Of Low Loss Ultra-High Delta Zro2-Sio2 Plc For Next Generation Compact And High-Density Integrated Devices
Abstract
For next generation planar lightwave circuit (PLC) devices, high function and high-density integration are required as well as downsizing and cost reduction. To realize these needs, high refractive index difference between a core and a clad (A) is required. To use PLC for practical applications, silica-based PLC is one of the most attractive candidate. However, degradation of the optical properties and productivity occur when A of the core becomes high. Thus, A of most of the conventional PLC with GeO2-SiO2 core is designed less than 2.5%. In this paper, we report a silica-based ultra-high A PLC with ZrO2-SiO2 core. 5.5%-A ZrO2-SiO2 PLC has been realized with low propagation loss and basic characteristics has been confirmed. Potential of chip size reduction of the ZrO2-SiO2 PLC is shown.
