Silicon on insulator components for optical data transmission systems.

研究建议继续成功的研究和发展(R)应用程序有三个不同的研究方向。一个方向是关于光网络中使用的光调制器。另一个方向与新型过滤器和过滤系统的发展有关。另一个方向是开发用于光网络的紧凑的、基于亚波长光栅和辅助亚波长光栅的基本光学元件。所有提出的工作都将用于在SOI平台上制造的光学系统和子系统。******与目前使用的SOI调制器相比，区域调制器工作的目标是研究新的调制器设计，以提高运行速度，减少片上空间，降低功耗并控制啁啾。这种调制器的发展将促进未来光互连和电信系统的进一步发展，并显著降低成本。要研究的调制器将在硅pn结中使用“等离子体色散”效应。超低功率、无频谱距离（FSR-free）、低啁啾、基于微环谐振器（MRR-based）的调制器、超低啁啾、推挽式、无fsr、基于mrr的干涉调制器和超低啁啾、推挽式极化调制器将被研究。******新型滤波器设计领域的工作目标是针对数据通信和/或电信应用。这些滤波器将使用mrr、光栅、反向耦合器，以及谐振器、光栅和/或反向耦合器的组合。这将是一种紧凑的基于核磁共振的滤波器，带有弯曲的反向耦合器，具有抑制自由频谱范围和大的相邻侧模抑制比。其他将被研究和进一步开发的滤波器是超紧凑的，apoapozed的，串联堆叠的，基于反向耦合器的用于波分复用应用的滤波器。******工作的目标是开发用于光网络的紧凑型，基于swg和辅助swg的光学元件，将重点放在基于模式进化的耦合器，可调谐耦合器，偏振旋转器，偏振组合器，偏振分配器，偏振分配器-旋转器，偏振旋转器-组合器，可调谐偏振变换器，偏振旋转滤波器，偏振独立器件，谐振器等基本组件上。这项工作意义重大，因为这样的设备应该为标准的、商业上可用的制造工艺提供更大的性能一致性。******该提案旨在确保加拿大保持在商用SOI平台组件设计和开发的前沿，因此，在光子学相关研发的前沿。

The research proposed continues successful research and development (R The application has three distinct research directions. One direction is related to optical modulators for use in optical networks. Another direction is related to the development of novel filters and filter-systems. Yet another direction is related to the development of compact, sub-wavelength-grating-based and sub-wavelength-grating-assisted, fundamental optical components for use in optical networks. All of the work proposed will be intended for use in optical systems and subsystems fabricated on SOI platforms.******The objective of the work in the area modulators is to research novel modulator designs that increase operating speed, reduce on-chip real estate, lower power consumption, and control chirp, as compared to SOI modulators currently in use. The development of such modulators will facilitate the further development of, and significantly reduce the cost of, future optical interconnects and telecommunication systems. The modulators to be investigated will use the "plasma-dispersion" effect in silicon pn junctions. Ultra-low power, free-spectral-range-free (FSR-free), low-chirp, micro-ring resonator-based (MRR-based) modulators will be investigated as will ultra-low chirp, push-pull, FSR-free, MRR-based interferometric modulators and ultra-low chirp, push-pull polarization modulators.******The objective of the work in the area of novel filter designs is targeted at datacom and/or telecom applications. These filters will use MRRs, gratings, contra-directional couplers, and combinations of resonators, gratings, and/or contra-directional couplers. These will be compact MRR-based filters with bent contra-directional couplers having suppressed free-spectral-ranges and large adjacent side-mode-suppression-ratios at both the through and the drop ports. Other filters that will be investigated and further developed are ultra-compact, apodized, series-stacked, contra-directional-coupler-based filters for course wavelength division multiplexing applications.******The objective of the work into the development of compact, SWG-based and SWG-assisted optical components for use in optical networks will focus on fundamental components such as mode-evolution-based couplers, tunable couplers, polarization rotators, polarization combiners, polarization splitters, polarization splitter-rotators, polarization rotator-combiners, tunable polarization converters, polarization rotating filters, polarization independent devices, resonators, etc. This work is significant in that such devices should offer greater performance uniformity for standard, commercially available, fabrication processes.******This proposal is aimed at ensuring that Canada remains at the forefront of the design and development of components for commercially available SOI platforms and, therefore, at the cutting edge of photonics related R&D in general.
