In this work, we present the realization and the characterization of an optical waveguide made of AlN and GaN layers grown by MBE on Si(111) substrate. For the fundamental mode at 633nm, the propagation losses are in the order of 2 dB/cm, which is a good number for SC waveguides at this wavelength. The propagation losses dramatically increase...
