Fig. 2. Band variation with (a) h1 (h2=a, h3=1.85a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a); (b) h2 (h1=1.7a, h3=1.85a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a); (c) h3 (h1=1.7a, h2=0.85a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a); (d) w1 (h1=1.85a, h2=a, h3=1.85a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a); (e) w2 (h1=1.85a, h2=a, h3=1.85a, w1=0.52a, w3=0.68a); (f) w3 (h1=1.85a, h2=a, h3=1.85a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a).
Fig. 3. (a) Band diagram for the 1D fishbone grating waveguide; the inset pictures are the electric fields of A and B, respectively; (b) group index ng (for different flat band) versus the wavelength (red line: h1=1.7a, h2=0.85a, h3=1.75a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a; blue line: h1=1.85a, h2=a, h3=1.85a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a; black line: h1=1.9a, h2=a, h3=1.85a, w1=0.52a, w2=0.8a, w3=0.68a).
Fig. 4. (a) Temporal pulse detected at the input and the output; (b) simulated transmission of different periods, the inset is the SEM image of the step taper.
Fig. 5. (a) Schematic of the experimental setup. Inset pictures are SEM images of the grating coupler. In addition, we utilize a tunable laser (TL) source, a polarization controller (PC), a data analyzer (DA), and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). (b) Measured transmission and group index as functions of wavelength; (c) group index (from both simulation and experiment) as a function of wavelength.
