Abstract
A photonic platform includes a substrate, a buried oxide layer on the substrate, a first optical layer on the buried oxide layer, the first optical layer including one or more waveguides shaped as rib waveguides protruding upwardly from a common underlying slab and a second optical layer spaced above the first optical layer, the second optical layer defining an upper waveguide that crosses over the one or more partially etched waveguides. A low-loss photonic switch may be made using a silicon photonic platform implementing this waveguide crossing.
