Abstract :
The input to through port per-length losses of contra-DCs are measured at wavelengths outside of their stop-band region using a ring-based measurement technique. The per-length losses were determined to be 1.60dB/cm, 1.85dB/cm, and 2.39dB/cm for contra-DCs having grating corrugation depths of 30 nm, 40 nm, and 50 nm, respectively.
