Abstract

A planar waveguide comprises a semiconductor substrate having one or more grooves along the surface of the substrate. A plurality of sequences of superlattice layers separated by a spacer layer over the grooved substrate is provided. The number of superlattice periods in each sequence changes from the base of the groove to the surface of the waveguide so as to provide a graded index of refraction in at least a portion of the region above the groove.
