Optimizing SOI Slot Waveguide Fabrication Tolerances and Strip-Slot Coupling for Very Efficient Optical Sensing
Slot waveguides are becoming more and more attractive optical components, especially for chemical and bio-chemical sensing.In this paper an accurate analysis of slot waveguide fabrication tolerances is carried auren3 out, in order to find optimum design criteria for either homogeneous or absorption sensing mechanisms, in cases of low and high aspec
