Abstract

Low-loss waveguiding at λ = 1.3 μm has been observed in a partially strained, 10-μm thick, single-crystal layer of Ge0.1Si0.9 grown by chemical vapor deposition on a high-resistivity (100) silicon substrate. The TM-mode propagation loss in the multimode planar guide was less than 1.9 dB/cm. Device applications of GeSi waveguides are discussed.
