A monolithic Mid‐IR microphotonics platform is demonstrated by engineered Si‐rich and low‐stress silicon nitride (SiN x ) thin films. A measured optical transmission loss of < 0.2 dB cm ‐1 is achieved over a broad mid‐IR spectrum. Using the SiN x film an efficient mid‐IR directional coupler is developed that shows a high extinction ratio of 7 dB upon wavelength scanning (λ = 2.45–2.65 μm).
