  Silicon carbide (SiC) displays a unique combination of optical and
spin-related properties that make it interesting for photonics and quantum
technologies. However, guiding light by total internal reflection can be
difficult to achieve, especially when SiC is grown as thin films on higher
index substrates, like Silicon. Fabricating suspended, subwavelength waveguides
requires a single lithography step and offers a solution to the confinement
problem, while preserving the design flexibility required for a scalable and
complete photonic platform. Here we present a design for such platform, that
can be used for both classical and quantum optics operation. We simulate the
key optical components and analyze how to exploit the high nonlinearities of
SiC and its defects.
