We design and experimentally demonstrate 50 picoseconds (ps) low loss delay line on 300 nm SOI platform. The delay line unit consists of straight rib waveguide and strip bend section linked by a transition taper waveguide. Low propagation loss of ~0.1 dB/cm is achieved on the straight rib waveguide....
