Integration of Detectors with Optical Waveguide Structures.
Abstract
This report summarizes results accomplished under the subject grant with many details appearing in other publications referenced in this report. Major accomplishments described occurred in the three major areas. First, laser recrystallization of silicon was used to fabricate photodetectors having excellent performance directly on the surface 10 to the minus 12th power amps, breakdown voltages of 60-80 V, and dynamic ranges of 55-60 db were measured. Second, a new type of optical waveguide using Si02 was developed which was characterized by very low values of propagation loss. We measured values of loss as low as .06 db/cm. Third, operation of a ring resonantor formed using optical channel waveguides formed in Si02 was demonstrated and is described. Keywords included: Photodetector, Waveguides, and Recrystallization.
