Optoelectronic Components and Method for Producing an Optoelectronic Component
First Claim
1. An optoelectronic component, comprising:
- an optical waveguide comprising at least one passive and at least one active section, whereinthe active section has at least one layer formed from a two-dimensional material, wherein the layer composed of the two-dimensional material is arranged at least partly in a waveguide core of the active section or in a manner at least partly adjoining the waveguide core of the active section, andthe difference in refractive index relative to the same wavelength between a core material forming the waveguide core of the active section flirt and a cladding material forming a waveguide cladding of the active section is greater than the difference in refractive index between a core material forming a waveguide core of the passive section and a cladding material forming a waveguide cladding of the passive section.

Abstract
An optoelectronic component includes an optical waveguide including at least one passive and at least one active section. The active section has at least one layer formed from a two-dimensional material. The layer composed of the two-dimensional material is arranged at least partly in a waveguide core of the active section or in a manner at least partly adjoining the waveguide core of the active section. The difference in refractive index relative to the same wavelength between a core material forming the waveguide core of the active section and a cladding material forming a waveguide cladding of the active section is greater than the difference in refractive index between a core material forming a waveguide core of the passive section and a cladding material forming a waveguide cladding of the passive section.

23. A method for producing an optoelectronic component, comprising:
-
producing an optical waveguide comprising at least one passive and at least one active section, wherein producing the optical waveguide comprises arranging at least one layer formed from a two-dimensional material at least partly in a waveguide core of the active section or in a manner at least partly adjoining the waveguide core of the active section, and wherein the optical waveguide is produced such that the difference in refractive index relative to the same wavelength between a core material forming the waveguide core of the active section and a cladding material forming a waveguide cladding of the active section is greater than the difference in refractive index between a core material forming a waveguide core of the passive section and a cladding material forming a waveguide cladding of the passive section.
