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.
