Ultra-low loss silica-based waveguides with millimeter bend radius

Ultra-low loss silica-based waveguides with millimeter bend radius

We characterize an approach to make compact low loss silica on silicon waveguides and achieve good agreement with theory. Record low losses of 8 dB/m for 0.5-mm bend radius down to 3 dB/m for 2-mm bend radius were achieved.
