Abstract

We report the realization of a Bragg grating optical filter at telecommunication wavelengths in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) through the use of ion implantation induced refractive index modulation. Silicon self-irradiation damage accumulation results in an increase of the refractive index to a saturated value, upon amorphization, of approximately 3.75. This makes it an interesting candidate for passive gratings as the silicon retains a planar surface, making it ideal for further processing. Monte Carlo simulations and coupled mode theory demonstrate the viability of the approach. Planar implanted SOI waveguides showed extinction ratios of -5 dB for TE and -2 dB for TM. An annealing study suggests complete amorphization was not achieved and future results should be improved dramatically.
