Recent Advances in Silicon Microphotonic Devices %K %X Various microphotonic silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide devices developed at the National Research Council of Canada are reviewed. These include a high-resolution arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) spectrometer, a Fourier-transform interleaved AWG spectrometer with a large light gathering capability, and an AWG with the dispersion enhancement using the photonic bandgap effect. Sub-wavelength grating (SWG) structures are introduced, including input couplers and antireflective waveguide facets. %U https://revistacubanadefisica.org/index.php/rcf/article/view?path= %J Revista Cubana de Física %0 Journal Article %& 75 %P 6 %V 25 %N 2A %@ 2224-7939 %8 2008-12-01 %7 2008-07-11
