Dispersion-Engineered and Fabrication-Robust SOI Waveguides for Ultra-Broadband DWDM

We present a measurement-validated design methodology for engineering the width of silicon-on-insulator waveguides for co-optimized group velocity dispersion and fabrication robustness, paving the way for ultra-broadband dense wavelength-division multiplexing silicon photonic communication solutions.
