Ultralow Propagation Loss Slot-Waveguide in High Absorption Active Material

A slot waveguide formed by high absorption active material is proposed to reduce the propagation loss for monolithic integration. The low propagation loss is attained by concentrating the optical field inside the low-index slot region without absorption. The simulation results show that the propagat...
