Abstract

Si₃N₄-on-SOI and VO₂-on-SOI integrated photonic devices and circuits, including an ultra-broadband and efficient grating coupler, adiabatic polarization rotator splitters, and wavelength-scale modulators, are described. Hybrid integration enables functionalities not attainable in each material separately.
