Abstract
Semiconductor cladding layers on planar dielectric waveguides exhibit periodic coupling characteristics between the lossless modes of the dielectric guide layer and the lossy modes supported by the absorptive semiconductor cladding layer. Large absorptions have been observed both experimentally and theoretically for discrete thickness values of silicon claddings making them likely candidates for use as photodetectors.1
