Oscillating guided modes in a symmetric five-layer slab waveguide with anisotropic-dispersive left-handed material

A symmetric five-layer slab waveguide with anisotropic and dispersive left-handed material (LHM) in the core and righthanded material (RHM) in other layers is investigated. Through Maxwell’s equations and a transfer matrix method, the dispersion equations for the TE oscillating guided modes are obtained. Under consideration of two extremely anisotropic cases, some mode dispersion curves are plotted. The zero-order TE oscillating guided mode exists. Meanwhile, with the increase of mode number, their dispersion curves move to left or right, corresponding to positive or negative dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability in the longitudinal direction. Besides, as the core thickness increases, mode dispersion properties change and three propagation properties appear: positive group velocity, negative group velocity and zero group velocity. The negative group velocity indicates the characteristics of the left-handed materials, and the zero group velocity implies that electromagnetic waves are trapped in the waveguide completely.     

Rigorous Analysis of the Scattering of Surface Waves in an Abruptly Ended Slab Dielectric Waveguide

The reflection and the scattering properties of even TE and TM surface waves incident in an abruptly ended dielectric slab waveguide are analyzed. The discontinuity is regarded as a junction between two open waveguides namely the dielectric slab waveguide and the free space waveguide. The boundary conditions acting together with the orthogonality provide singular coupled integral equations on the discrete and the continuous wave amplitudes at the discontinuity. These singular coupled intergral equations with Cauchy kernels and infinite limits of integration are solved by iteration via the Neuman series. Numerical results are presented for the reflectivity of the even TE/sub 0/ and TM/sub 0/ fundamental modes, together with their mode conversion on even TE/sub 2/ and TM/sub 2/ in a slab where two guided modes can propagate. Reflectivity and mode conversion of higher order excitations are also investigated     

Guiding Modes of a Slab Waveguide Composed of Impedance-Matched Single Negative Materials

The properties of guiding modes of a slab waveguide composed of impedance-matched $epsilon $ (permittivity) negative and $mu $ (permeability) negative media were investigated. This special type of waveguide supports only a single mode having polarization degeneracy: transverse-electric (TE)- and transverse-magnetic (TM)-polarized light waves always have the same propagation wavevectors. However, the overall power flow directions of these degenerate TE and TM modes are always opposite to each other.      

Comments on "Ridged Waveguides with Inhomogeneous Dielectric Slab Loading" (Letters)

In the above paper/sup1/, Magerl derives dispersion equations for TE/sub m0/ modes of ridged waveguide with inhomogeneous dielectric-slab loading. The existence of TE modes was evidently assumed a priori (a seemingly natural assumption); unfortunately, true TE modes do not exist in this waveguide (with a singuIar exception to be noted).     

Non-polarization and high-coupling-efficiency coupler using multilevel grating structure

A multilevel grating coupler based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material structure is proposed to realize the coupling between waveguide and waveguide or waveguide and fiber. This coupler is compatible with the current fabrication facilities for complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology with vertical coupling. This structure can realize coupling when the beams with transverse electric (TE) polarization and transverse magnetic (TM) polarization are incident at the same time. The influences of the grating coupler parameters including wavelength, the thickness of waveguide layer, the thickness of SiO₂ layer and the number of steps on the TE mode and TM mode coupling efficiencies are discussed. Theory researches and simulation results indicate that the wavelength range is from 1533 nm to 1580 nm when the TE mode and TM mode coupling efficiencies are both more than 40% as the grating period is 0.99 μm. The coupling efficiencies of the incident TE and TM modes are 49.9% and 49.5% at the wavelength of 1565 nm, respectively, and the difference between them is only 0.4%.     

Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves in Rectangular Guides Filled with a Semiconductor in the Presence of a Transverse Magnetic Field

The characteristics of electromagnetic waves propagating in a semiconductor filled rectangular waveguide in the presence of a transverse magnetic field are studied. It is shown that only TE mode waves having y-independent field components (y being the direction of the steady magnetic field) and anomalous modes having all six field components can propagate. The propagation constant of waves characterized by a sinusoidal y dependence of fields is derived. Asymptotic expressions for the fields and the propagation constant are then obtained for the limiting case of a small external magnetic field and some recent experimental results are analyzed in this context.

Modes of Propagation in a Coaxial Waveguide with Lossless Reactive Guiding Surfaces

An analysis of the modes that can propagate in a coaxial waveguide with Iossless reactive guiding surfaces is presented. The cases where both the surfaces are either inductive or capacitive and the case where one of the surfaces is capacitive and the other is inductive are discussed. The results show that, in general, there are two surface waves and an infinite number of waveguide modes. Whereas all the waveguide modes show the cut off phenomenon, the surface waves may either propagate down to zero frequency or get transformed into the lowest order waveguide mode at certain critical frequencies determined by the structure parameters.     

Slow propagation of electromagnetic waves in a dielectric slab waveguide with a left-handed material substrate

The dispersion properties of the guided modes propagating along a dielectric slab waveguide with a left-handed material substrate are studied. It is shown that both the oscillating and surface modes can propagate very slowly along such a waveguide if the thickness of the core layer is chosen appropriately. The propagation speed of the guided waves can even approach zero and this slow propagation is illustrated with an finite-difference time-domain simulation in a tapered waveguide. The influence of the material loss on the slow propagation is also discussed.
