More Information
Summary:An optical system including: A substrate having a recess (30); and, a substantially planar, semiconducting waveguiding membrane (40) suspended over the recess and having a thickness less than about 200 nm; wherein, the optical system supports a propagating optical mode having a majority of its energy external to the semicoductor waveguiding membrane. L'invention concerne un système optique comprenant un substrat pourvu d'un évidement; et une membrane de guide d'onde semi-conductrice sensiblement plane suspendue au-dessus de l'évidement et possédant une épaisseur inférieure à environ 200 nm. Ledit système optique supporte un mode de propagation optique dont la majeure partie de l'énergie est externe à la membrane de guide d'onde semi-conductrice.
