  • Abstract
    A novel technique is proposed to realise temperature-insensitive Bragg gratings in silica-based lightwave circuits on Si using a bimetal plate. A wavelength shift <0.15 nm is successfully demonstrated between -40 and 80°C in the Bragg gratings written in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer
