Paper Abstract
Integrated optics is becoming increasingly important for applications in quantum information processing, quantum
sensing and for advanced measurement. Intrinsically stable and low-loss it provides essential routing and coupling for
quantum optical experiments offering functions such as interconnects, couplers, phase delays and routing. Silica-onsilicon
has particular attractions, and in this work the fabrication approaches and advantages of the technique will be
explored. In particular, UV direct writing of waveguides and Bragg gratings proves useful for its rapid-prototyping
capability and its ability to provide grating for characterization of components for loss, birefringence and coupling ratio.
This review concentrates on the fabrication of planar waveguide devices, and ways in which direct UV writing provides
important functionality. Examples of applications of silica-on-silicon waveguides include quantum enhanced
interferometry, teleportation, boson sampling as well as hybrid operation for single photon detection with transition edge
sensors directly placed onto waveguide devices.
