Abstract

The confinement of light in silicon slot waveguide operating at the wavelength range of 1 μm ~ 2 μm is investigated. With the proper structure designing, the optimal confinement of light in slot region for slot waveguide could be realized. This value is 0.59, 0.56, and 0.52 for the wavelength of 1 μm, 1.5 μm, and 2 μm, respectively. Furthermore, the transmission loss and the confinement of light are both calculated and discussed when silicon slot waveguide operates at the material high absorption wavelength.
