apparent
adjective
clearly visible or understood; obvious
Example: Due to the larger difference in effective indices in the strip versus ridge waveguide geometry, it is apparent from (3) that the phase difference accumulated in the LPG sections is larger than that of the active waveguide region [2].

bandwidth
noun
a range of frequencies within a given band, in particular that used for transmitting a signal
Example: Optimal parameters for the modulator electrical capacity and related bandwidth are discussed [1].
boast
verb
talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities
Example: A particular device which can address the need for WDM with a low power budget is the silicon Micro-Ring Resonator (MRR) which boasts an ample free spectral range, sharp resonant peaks and a small footprint [2].

capacitor
noun
a device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator
Example: ITO based capacitor either surrounds the waveguide or partially penetrates inside it [1].

cladding
noun
a covering or coating on a structure or material
Example: A silicon based plasmonic waveguide with a thin dielectric layer and silver claddings is used [1].
ru: покрытие
complementary
adjective
something serving to fill out or complete
Example: Silicon photonics has begun to address these needs through low-cost complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible fabrication of devices utilizing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) schemes [2].
ru: дополнительный, добавочный, вспомогательный
deduce
verb
draw as a logical conclusion
Example: Fundamental properties and dispersion relations of edge plasmons at different boundaries are studied in order to deduce an efficient devise structure [1].
deviation
noun
the amount by which a single measurement differs from a fixed value such as the mean
Example: Further, this deviation could be coupled with uncertainty in the silicon thickness and, to a lesser extent, grating pitch [2].
ru: отклонение, погрешность
dielectric permittivity
noun
the property of a dielectric that defines a measure of its electric polarizability
Example: When the critical concentration is reached, the real part of the dielectric permittivity tends to zero in a good correspondence with the Drude theory [1].
ru: диэлектрическая проницаемость
dissipation
noun
changings in the characteristics of light due to interaction with matter
Example: The imaginary part of the dielectric constant also grows significantly in the ENZ regime, causing a strong dissipation of localized electromagnetic energy in the ITO accumulation layer [1].
ru: рассеивание, рассеяние
distribution
noun
the action of sharing something out among a number of recipients
Example: The response of the electrons distribution in the active material on the applied voltage is calculated [1].
ru: распределение
domain
noun
a particular interest, activity, or type of knowledge
Example: Optical model of the modulator is based on Maxwell equations in frequency domain [1].
ru: область, сфера
eigenvalue
noun
each of a set of values of a parameter for which a differential equation has a non-zero solution (an eigenfunction) under given conditions
Example: The propagation constant β should be considered as a discrete eigenvalue here [1].
ru: собственное значение
evaluate
verb
to judge or calculate the quality, importance, amount, or value of something
Example: Optical losses are evaluated [1].
foundry
noun
the act, process, or art of casting metals
Example: This high-energy implantation ensures this trimming process in entirely back-end with no modifications to the process flow of the foundry [2].
ru: литье, отливка, литейная
induce
verb
succeed in persuading or leading (someone) to do something
Example: Charge induced changes of the refractive index are more pronounced in ITO than in Si [1].
ru: вызывать, заставлять, вынуждать
inevitable
adjective
certain to happen; unavoidable
Example: While it is possible to design multiple-ring structures to possess such a spacing, inevitable fabrication variations prevent such realization [2].
ru: неизбежный, неминуемый
inset
noun
a thing that is put in or inserted
Example: The device in Fig. 3 inset represents an over-coupled ring resonator prior to implant [2].
ru: вставка, вкладка, вклейка
intercept
verb
obstruct (someone or something) so as to prevent them from continuing to a destination
Example: By evaluating each curve where it intercepts a pitch of 2.605 µm, the new central wavelength for that width can be determined and the sensitivity to variation in width, ∆ Λo/∆WWG, can be extracted through linear interpolation shown in figure 3(b) [2].
ru: останавливать, прерывать, перехватывать
intrinsic
adjective
belonging naturally; essential
Example: These intrinsic defects are partially or fully removed by the annealing, in turn causing a blue-shift of ∼400 pm [2].

an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something abstract or theoretical
Example: The described concepts in different manifestations were used in many theoretical and experimental research works [1].

p-n junction
noun
a boundary between p-type and n-type material in a semiconductor device
