Abstract :
In this work, a simple approach to tailor the intensity distribution of CPP modes in metallic V-grooves is demonstrated by modifying the waveguide cross-section.The procedure involves a thermal oxidation of V-grooves formed in crystallographic planes of silicon that enables sidewall and vertex angle adjustment.
