Abstract

The transmission loss of gallium nitride slot waveguide is investigated by numerical simulation. After properly optimizing the structural parameters, the gallium nitride slot waveguide could operate within visible band (400–800 nm) with loss coefficient of 0.4–1.0 dB/cm due to material absorption. Moreover, after considering sidewall roughness and taking the scattering loss into account, the total transmission loss is also calculated and discussed.
