CMOS-Compatible and Temperature Insensitive C-Band Wavelength (De-)multiplexer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The high thermal sensitivity of the Silicon Photonics (SiP) platform compromises the performance of variant devices and increases the power consumption to stabilize the temperature. To address this issue, we demonstrate a CMOS-compatible and temperature insensitive$1\times 4$C-band wavelength division (de-)multiplexer on the 220-nm-thick silicon-on-insulator platform. The (de-)multiplexer design is based on cascading Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). The waveguide widths of the MZI delay lines are matched to decrease the overall thermo-optic coefficient (TOC). For comparison, an MZI-based (de-)multiplexer with uniform delay lines is also fabricated on the same chip. The transmission spectra of the proposed and reference devices are measured when the wavelength is swept from 1500 nm to 1600 nm and the temperature is varied from 293.15 K to 323.15 K. The measured results show that the TOCs of the proposed and reference device are 4.8 pm/K and 85 pm/K, respectively. This power-efficient multiplexer with high integration density is promising for data center applications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
