(a) Temperature line profile across the centre of waveguide cross section (as shown in figure 7) for different separations. Red line (ΔS=0) represents the heated and reference waveguide without separation, and blue, orange, green line represents heated waveguides at position -3, -6, -9 um distance with reference waveguide placed at 0 um. (b) Percentage temperature change in the reference waveguide for different waveguide separations in various platforms.
