Abstract

A polarization independent band-pass filter is created by combining a silicon cross-slot waveguide and a Bragg grating cavity. By theoretically investigating different types of cavities we show how the sensitivity to polarization of the device can vary, and how we can strongly confine light in a two-dimensional slot waveguide. This kind of structure, where a slot waveguide, a photonic crystal and a nanowire waveguide are merged together, may find applications in the field of sensing. Indeed, a slight variation in the surrounding refractive index breaks the device symmetry. One polarization can thus be used to monitor the fluctuation of the other one. We describe here the principle of a Bragg grating merged with a cross slot waveguide in which a cavity is placed. We discuss the advantage of using different geometries of cavity and how this choice may affect the response of the device.
