Abstract
Bragg filters stand as a key building blocks of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonics platform, allowing the implementation of advanced on-chip signal manipulation. However, achieving narrowband Bragg filters with large rejection levels is often hindered by fabrication constraints and imperfections. Here, we present a new generation of high-performance Bragg filters that exploit subwavelength and corrugation symmetry engineering to overcome bandwidth-rejection trade-off in state-of-the-art implementations. We experimentally show flexible control over the width and depth of the Bragg resonance, unlocking new tools for the implementation of notch filters with arbitrary bandwidth and rejection level. These results pave the way for the implementation of high-performance on-chip wavelength filters with a great potential for nonlinear-based applications, e.g. next generation Si-based photon-pair sources for quantum photonic circuits.
