Ultra-low-loss CMOS-compatible waveguide crossing arrays based on multimode Bloch waves and imaginary coupling
We experimentally demonstrate broadband waveguide crossing arrays showing ultralow loss of 0.0 4dB/crossing (0.9%) on average and converging to 0.033 dB/crossing (0.075%) matching theory and cross-talk suppression over 35 dB in a CMOS-compatible geometry. The principle of operation is the tailored excitation of a low-loss spatial Bloch wave formed by …
