Publication Restreint Silicon-coupled tantalum pentoxide microresonators with broadband low thermo-optic coefficient(Optical Society, 2021-07-30) Jean, Philippe; Bah, Souleymane Toubou; LaRochelle, Sophie; Shi, Wei; Messaddeq, Younès; Douaud, AlexandreStable microresonators are important integrated photonics components but are difficult to achieve on silicon-on-insulator due to silicon intrinsic properties. In this work, we demonstrate broadband thermally stable tantalum pentoxide microresonators directly coupled to silicon waveguides using a micro-trench co-integration method. The method combines in-foundry silicon processing with a single step backend thin-film deposition. The passive response of the microresonator and its thermal behavior are investigated. We show that the microresonator can operate in the overcoupled regime as well as near the critical coupling point, boasting an extinction ratio over 25 dB with no higher-order mode excitation. The temperature dependent wavelength shift is measured to be as low as 8.9 pm/K and remains below 10 pm/K over a 120 nm bandwidth.Publication Accès libre Silicon subwavelength grating waveguides with high-index chalcogenide glass cladding(Optical Society of America, 2021-06-17) Jean, Philippe; LaRochelle, Sophie; Shi, Wei; Messaddeq, Younès; Douaud, AlexandreSilicon subwavelength grating waveguides enable flexible design in integrated photonics through nano-scale refractive index engineering. Here, we explore the possibility of combining silicon subwavelength gratings waveguides with a high-index chalcogenide glass as a top cladding, thus modifying the waveguiding behavior and opening a new design axis for these structures. A detailed investigation of the heterogeneous SWG waveguide with high-index cladding is presented based on analytical and numerical simulations. We design, fabricate and characterize silicon subwavelength grating waveguide microring resonators with an As20S80 cladding. Thanks to As20S80 negative thermo-optic coefficient, we achieve near athermal behavior with a measured minimum thermally induced resonance shift of −1.54 pm/K, highlighting the potential of subwavelength grating waveguides for modal confinement engineering and to control light-matter interaction. We also show that the chalcogenide glass can be thermally reflowed to remove air gaps inside the cladding, resulting in a highly conformal structure. These types of waveguides can find application in reconfigurable photonics, nonlinear optics, metamaterials or slow light.Publication Accès libre Universal micro-trench resonators for monolithic integration with silicon waveguides(OSA Optical Materials Express, 2021-08-02) Jean, Philippe; Bah, Souleymane Toubou; LaRochelle, Sophie; Shi, Wei; Messaddeq, Younès; Douaud, AlexandreWe present a systematic study of micro-trench resonators for heterogeneous integration with silicon waveguides. We experimentally and numerically demonstrate that the approach is compatible with a large variety of thin film materials and that it does not require specific etching recipe development, thus making it virtually universal. The microresonators are fabricated through in-foundry silicon-on-insulator processing and in-house backend processing. We also report ultra-compact chalcogenide microresonators with radius as small as 5µ and quality factors up to 1.8 × 105. We finally show a proof-of-concept of a novel multilayer waveguide using the micro-trench technique.
