Analysis of the Effective Refractive Index of Silicon Waveguides Through the Constructive and Destructive Interference in a Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

This paper introduces a method of measuring the delta between the effective refractive index of a silicon waveguide and a waveguide with wider dimensions through the constructive and destructive interference in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The method consists of a fixed effective refractive...
