  • Abstract
    Planar Bragg grating based photonic Hilbert transformers (PHTs) with THz bandwidths are proposed and practically demonstrated. An X-coupler, PHT, and a flat-top reflector are incorporated, demonstrating 2THz all-optical single-sideband filters. Devices are fabricated via a direct UV grating writing technique on a silica-on-silicon platform.
