Abstract

We present a compact, CMOS compatible, photonic integrated circuit (PIC) based spectrometer that combines a dispersive array element of SiO2-filled scattering holes within a multimode interferometer (MMI) fabricated on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. The spectrometer has a bandwidth of 67 nm, a lower bandwidth limit of 1 nm, and a peak-to-peak resolution of 3 nm for wavelengths around 1310 nm.
