Demonstration of Large Coupling-Induced Phase Delay in Silicon Directional Cross-Couplers

We investigate directional couplers in silicon-on-insulator photonic technology. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a large coupling-induced phase delay that occurs when nearly all light is coupled from one waveguide to the other, i.e., when the coupler operates as a cross-coupler. We s...
