Abstract

A high-order-mode (HOM) filter for thick silicon waveguides has a shoulder slab, a waveguide ridge, a first filter ridge, and a second filter ridge. The first filter ridge and the second filter ridge help attenuate higher-order modes from the waveguide ridge while the waveguide ridge guides a fundamental mode.
