Abstract

We present compact crossings for silicon-on-insulator photonic wires. The waveguides are broadened using a
3um parabolic taper in each arm. By locally applying a lower index contrast using a double etch technique,
loss of con¯nement is reduced and 97.5% transmission (-1.7dB) is achieved with only -40dB crosstalk.
