Hello, I'm working on an optical sensor integrated on silicon with phase modulation driven by acoutic surface waves (ZnO piezoelectric thin film)on the reference arm. The architecture of this sensor is a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and in order to isolate the measurement arm, I need an acoustic absorber. Until now, I just realised an isolation trench by deep RIE etching. Could someone help me ?
