  • Abstract
    High contrast GeTe4 channel waveguides were fabricated on silicon with a ZnSe isolation layer using the lift-off technique. Waveguiding in these channels was demonstrated in the mid-wave and long-wave infrared spectral regions. The results of numerical modelling on the optical loss with different isolation layer thicknesses are also briefly discussed.
