Abstract:
A new type of optical waveguides in silicon-on-insulator nanostructures is proposed and studied. Their optical properties are simulated by the beam propagation method and discussed. A new design in the form of heterogeneous waveguide structures is based on the production of additionally heavily doped p+-regions on the sides of a multimode stripe waveguide (the silicon core cross section is ~200 nm × 16 μm). Such doping provides the 'single-mode' behaviour of the heterogeneous waveguide due to the decrease in the optical losses for the fundamental mode and increase in losses for higher-order modes. Single-mode heterogeneous waveguides can be used as base waveguides in photonic and integrated optical elements.
