Stress and Refractive Index Control of SiO<sub>2</sub> Thin Films for Suspended Waveguides

Film stress and refractive index play an important role in the fabrication of suspended waveguides. SiO<sub>2</sub> waveguides were successfully fabricated on multiple substrates including Si, Ge, and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> wafers; the waveguides were deposit...
