Abstract
We demonstrate an apodization technique by tapering the corrugations of spiral Bragg grating waveguides on the silicon-on-insulator platform, for the fundamental transverse magnetic mode. The transmission and reflection responses of uniform and apodized spiral Bragg grating waveguides are experimentally compared to show higher sidelobe suppression ratios by the proposed apodization scheme. We also present an apodized, period-chirped spiral Bragg grating waveguide, and the group delay of the proposed device has been measured; the results show an efficient suppression in the ripples of the group delay response.
