Abstract

Silicon wire waveguide TE₀/TE₁ mode conversion Bragg grating can be used in wavelength add/drop and polarization rotation Bragg diffraction. The device can implement many filtering functionalities required in wavelength division multiplexing optical communications. In this paper we describe TE₀/TE₁ mode conversion Bragg grating device incorporating resonant cavity section to obtain narrow transmission wavelength peak. Theoretical calculation agreed with measured wavelength response.
