Demonstration of High-Speed Optical Transmission at 2 µm in Titanium Dioxide Waveguides

Abstract

We demonstrate the transmission of a 10-Gbit/s optical data signal in the 2 µm waveband into titanium dioxide waveguides. Error-free transmissions have been experimentally achieved taking advantage of a 23-dB insertion loss fiber-to-fiber grating-based injection test-bed platform.
