We measured 78±10% reflection for an InP-based MMI-reflector fabricated with a single etch step with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcKeywords: InP; Multi-mode interference; On chips; Photonic integrated circuits; Single etch; Inductively coupled plasma; Integrated circuits; Integrated optoelectronics; Photonics; Reflection; Optical communicationMMI-reflector: A novel on-chip reflector for photonic integrated circuits20092016-02-24
