Yurtsever, G. (author), Weiss, N. (author), Kalkman, J. (author), Van Leeuwen, T.G. (author), Baets, R. (author)We demonstrate an ultra-compact silicon integrated photonic interferometer for swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). The footprint of the integrated interferometer is only 0.75×5??mm2. The design consists of three 2×2 splitters, a 13 cm physical length (50.4 cm optical length) reference arm, and grating couplers. The photonic...journal article 2014

Westerveld, W.J. (author)We demonstrated that photonic micro-ring resonators can be used in micro-machined ultrasound microphones. This might cause a breakthrough in array transducers for ultrasonography; first because optical multiplexing allows array interrogation via one optical fiber and second because the silicon-on-insulator technology allows cost-effective...doctoral thesis 2014

Westerveld, W.J. (author), Pozo, J. (author), Leinders, S.M. (author), Yousefi, M. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author)We investigate directional couplers in silicon-on-insulator photonic technology. We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a large coupling-induced phase delay that occurs when nearly all light is coupled from one waveguide to the other, i.e., when the coupler operates as a cross-coupler. We show that even a tiny asymmetry in the two...journal article 2013

Westerveld, W.J. (author), Leinders, S.M. (author), Muilwijk, P.M. (author), Pozo, J. (author)Microscale strain gauges are widely used in micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to measure strains such as those induced by force, acceleration, pressure or sound. We propose all-optical strain sensors based on micro-ring resonators to be integrated with MEMS. We characterized the strain-induced shift of the resonances of such devices....journal article 2013

Westerveld, W.J. (author), Leinders, S.M. (author), Van Dongen, K.W.A. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author), Yousefi, M. (author)Marcatili's famous approximate analytical description of light propagating through rectangular dielectric waveguides, published in 1969, gives accurate results for low-index-contrast waveguides. However, photonic integrated circuit technology has advanced to high-index-contrast (HIC) waveguides. In this paper, we improve Marcatili's model by...journal article 2012

Westerveld, W.J. (author), Urbach, H.P. (author), Yousefi, M. (author)We present an accurate and fast 3D simulation scheme for out-of-plane grating couplers, based on two dimensional rigorous (finite difference time domain) grating simulations, the effective index method (EIM), and the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula. In comparison with full 3D FDTD simulations, the rms difference in electric field is...journal article 2011
