| Research Abstract |
Optical guiding mechanism in high refractive index difference (High-Δ) optical waveguides that have silicon core and that can be bent with the curvature of only several μm were studied. The propagation properties were analyzed and compared with conventional silica based waveguides. Furthermore, various functional optical devices that use the waveguides, the method of mounting light sources such as LD on the waveguide substrates and an optical input/output interface between external optical systems were studied. These achievements will be a milestone for realizing high density optical integrated circuits.
