The design, fabrication, and characterization of low-loss ultra-compact bends in high-index ( n =3.1 at λ =1550 n m ) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition silicon-rich silicon nitride (SRN) were demonstrated and utilized to realize efficient, small footprint thermo-optic phase shifter. Compact bends were structured into a folded waveguide geometry to form a rectangular spiral within an area of 65×65µ m 2 , having a total active waveguide length of 1.2 mm. The device featured a phase-shifting efficiency of 8 m W / π and a 3 dB switching bandwidth of 15 KHz. We propose SRN as a promising thermo-optic platform that combines the properties of silicon and stoichiometric silicon nitride. |
