Composite materials offer significant performance advantages due to their lightweight, high-strength, and high stiffness. This led to their adoption in several industrial sectors with particular emphasis on the aerospace industry which has undergone a transformation towards a composite-dominated new standard. In order to respond to the increased demand, it is mandatory to focus on an efficient and well-controlled curing cycle of the resin, which will lead to a significant reduction of cost and an increase in production speed. We investigate, a photonic solution, able of measure key monitoring values that facilitate optimization of the curing process. Simulation and evaluation results on a bragg grating based photonic integrated sensor, developed in 220 nm Silicon-onInsulator platform, are presented. A multi-sensor deployment is considered, enabling monitoring of the temperature and the refractive index of the resin. Serially coupled bragg grating photonic elements will enable concurrent monitoring of both temperature and refractive index. Several bragg configurations have been investigated and experimentally evaluated, specifically regular and phase-shifted ones. Both TE and TM polarization operation sensors that have been designed and fabricated, will be presented. Their sensitivity on resin temperature and refractive index variation will be discussed, resulting in a comparative study outlining the benefits and disadvantages of each solution. Refractive index sensors are realized by employing post-processing etching techniques on Multi-Project-Wafer run fabricated silicon chips, on top of the periodic bragg grating element. The comparative study takes into consideration TE and TM polarization operation, regular and phase-shifted bragg grating configuration elements, while evaluating their sensitivity in temperature and refractive index variations. Temperatures considered are in the range of 27°C to 200°C, while refractive index values lay between 1.5 and 1.6. A Figure-of-Merit is proposed to facilitate the selection of multi-sensor deployment for specific temperature and refractive index ranges.

The ubiquitous need for compact, low-cost and mass production photonic devices, for next generation photonic enabled applications, necessitates the development of integrated components exhibiting functionalities that are, to date, carried out by free space elements or standard fiber equipment. The polarization rotator is a typical example of such tendency, as it is a crucial part of the PBS operation of future transceiver modules that leverage polarization multiplexing schemes for increasing the optical network capacity. Up to now, a variety of integrated polarization rotating concepts has been proposed and reported, relying, mainly, on special waveguide crossection configurations for achieving the rotation. Nevertheless, most of those concepts employ SiPh or III-V integration platforms, significantly increasing the fabrication complexity required for customizing the waveguide crossection, which in turn leads to either prohibitively increased cost or compromised quality and performance. In this manuscript we demonstrate the extensive design of a low-cost integrated polymer polarization rotator employing a right-trapezoidal waveguide interfaced to standard square polymer waveguides. First the crossection of the waveguide is defined by calculating and analyzing the components of the hybrid modes excited in the waveguide structure, using a Finite Difference mode solver. Mode overlaps between the fundamental polymer mode and each hybrid mode reveal the optimum lateral offset between the square polymer and the trapezoidal waveguide that ensures both minimum interface loss and maximized polarization rotation performance. The required trapezoidal waveguide length is obtained through EigenMode Expansion (EME) propagation simulations, while more than 95% maximum theoretical conversion efficiency is reported over the entire C-band, resulting to more than 13dB polarization extinction ratio. The polarization rotator design relies on the development of angled polymer waveguide sidewalls, employing the tilted laser ablation technology, currently available at CMST. Therefore, the aforementioned simulation steps adhere fully to the respective design rules, taking into account the anticipated fabrication variations
