Abstract
Abstract – This paper is based on a design submitted as part of the requirements for Silicon Photonics professional course certification from University of British Columbia, Canada. It includes deign, simulation and layout for a Mach-Zehnder interferometer or MZI, it also includes fabrication of silicon photonic chip at the University of Washington Nanofabrication Facility, part of the National Science Foundations National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN). The fabricated silicon photonic chip was tested at the University of British Columbia under special automatic test setup arrangement with precision temperature control and sub micrometer laser alignment control. The design proposal includes five MZIs with different sizes. The optical waveguides of the MZIs are designed using 500nm width, 220nm height and with ∆L ranging from 30μm upto 100μm. Measurement data was received from UBC and compared with corner analysis.
