Mid-infrared racetrack resonators are demonstrated working at 8μm wavelength. The devices are based on a graded SiGe platform providing low propagation loss on a large wavelength range in the mid-IR. Different resonators designs have been fabricated, with varying gap distances in the directional coupler. Q factors of more than 3000 have been experimentally demonstrated. These results pave the way towards compact mid-IR sensors or efficient active devices.

Abstract

Mid-infrared racetrack resonators are demonstrated working at 8μm wavelength. The devices are based on a graded SiGe platform providing low propagation loss on a large wavelength range in the mid-IR. Different resonators designs have been fabricated, with varying gap distances in the directional coupler. Q factors of more than 3000 have been experimentally demonstrated. These results pave the way towards compact mid-IR sensors or efficient active devices.
