Distributed backscattering due to stochastic defects in production O-band Si photonic waveguides

Abstract

We report backscattering of -19 to -36 dB per 1mm of waveguide length. We find the dependence of backscattering intensity on waveguide geometry and polarization to be consistent with backscattering being dominated by sidewall defects.
