Characterization of Aluminum Gallium Arsenide-On-Insulator Mach-Zehnder Interferometers for use in Integrated Quantum Photonic Circuits
The aluminum gallium arsenide-on-insulator (AlGaAsOI) material plat- form shows promise for applications in integrated quantum photonic circuits. Designing high-performance components is a critical part of advancing the platform. Here, we simulate and characterize integrated ring resonators and Mach-Zehnder interferometers. We determine de- vice performance trends based on design parameters that dictate future component iterations.
