Abstract

A novel, to the best of our knowledge, dual-core slot–slot waveguide with extreme high dispersion is proposed. The high dispersion value at the desired wavelength is obtained based on strong resonance coupling between two slot-waveguide modes. The properties of dispersion magnitude and bandwidth are numerically analyzed by using the finite-difference time-domain method with a perfectly matched layer boundary. All numerical simulation results reveal that for the optimized geometrical parameters of H1=350nm, L1=569nm, S1=31.3nm, La=1062.39nm, H2=427nm, L2=137.4nm, and S2=63.5nm, the maximum dispersion of negative 3.645×105ps·nm1·km1 and dispersion full width at half-maximum of 6.3 nm at 1550 nm have been obtained. By cascading the slot–slot waveguides with varying width and height, a large and flattened dispersion of 3.5×105ps·nm1·km1 covering the C+L+U waveband is obtained. Dispersion compensation of a 100 Gbit/s return-to-zero on-off-keying optical time-division multiplexing signal after 50 km full spectrum single-mode optical fiber transmission with five different central wavelengths is demonstrated through simulation for the first time. In addition, fabrication tolerance of the proposed slot–slot waveguide is analyzed. Such a waveguide is compatible with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor technology and has potential applications in next-generation large-scale photonic integrated circuits.
