  • Abstract
    A technique for fabricating low-loss and polarisation-independent channel waveguides in silicon is reported. The waveguides are obtained by Ge-indiffusion using either a GeSi alloy or a system of alternating Ge and Si layers. Typical fabrication parameters for single-mode waveguides are given.
