A silicon-on-insulator substrate hosts a broadband wavelength filter featuring perturbed Bragg gratings. This perturbation is induced by strategically placing waveguides near the gratings. The use of smaller grating corrugation widths leads to a larger coupling coefficient, thereby significantly improving the grating reflectivity. Theoretical analysis of this compact device reveals a simplified circuit design, which is further corroborated by finite difference time domain simulation results. The achieved broadband filter boasts a bandwidth of approximately 40 nm, coupled with an impressive extinction ratio of around 39 dB, all achieved with a modest grating length of only |
