Abstract
A photonic circuit and electronic device incorporating the same including a waveguide defining different regions having different widths and cladding thicknesses. The width and cladding thickness in a particular region are configured to loosely confine light in a first set of conditions and to tightly/highly confine light in a second set of conditions. The first and second set of conditions can correspond to the waveguide being positioned proximate to different materials having different indices of refraction.
