Polymer 1×2 Thermo‐Optic Digital Optical Switch Based on the Total‐Internal‐Reflection Effect

This letter presents a polymer 1×2 thermo‐optic total‐internal‐reflection digital optical switch (TIR‐DOS) with an index contrast of 1.5%‐Δ operating at low power consumption. The structure of our 1×2 TIR‐DOS was created by adding a reflection port to that of a conventional multimode filtering variable optical attenuator. To improve the total‐internal‐reflection efficiency, a heater offset was applied to the crossing region of multimode waveguides of the TIR‐DOS. The fabricated 1×2 TIR‐DOS shows a low electrical power consumption of 18 mW for an on‐off ratio of 35 dB.     

Analysis of power-dependent switching between radiatively coupledplanar waveguides

Effective coupling between two remote optical waveguides without branching sections can be achieved in a three-guide system with multimode central waveguide. We investigate the nonlinear power switching of c.w. laser radiation by such radiatively coupled waveguides. It is shown that effective all-optical switches with spatially well separated input/output channels can be realized although the influence of multimode interference on the switching characteristics becomes more pronounced for increasing thickness of the central guide. Different coupling regimes are specified, and the changes in switching characteristics during the transformation from one regime to another is studied. Numerical calculations for the critical power are compared with an approximate analytical expression. It is also shown that, at a moderate input power, a small number of modes determines the switching behavior

Operation mechanism of electrooptic multimode X-switches

The operation mechanism of electrooptic multimode switches using crossing channel waveguides (X-switch) is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The light propagation through the X-structure as well as the switching behavior of the device is explained in terms of local normal modes. The theoretical model is confirmed by numerical calculations (BPM) and by experiments using Ti:LiNbO3multimode channel waveguides. The results indicate that the generally applied model of total internal reflection (TIR) is not suited to explain the low voltage operation of multimode X-switches.

Cost-Effective Multimode Polymer Waveguides for High-Speed On-Board Optical Interconnects

Cost-effective multimode polymer waveguides, suitable for use in high-speed on-board optical interconnections, are presented. The fundamental light transmission properties of the fabricated waveguides are studied under different launch conditions and in the presence of input misalignments. Low loss ($sim$0.04 dB/cm at 850 nm) and low crosstalk $(≪-{hbox {30 dB}})$ performance, relaxed alignment tolerances $(pm hbox{20} mu{hbox {m}})$ and high-speed operation at a 10-Gb/s data rate are achieved. No degradation in the high-speed link performance is observed when offset input launches are employed. Moreover, a range of useful waveguide components that add functionality and enable complex on-board topologies are presented. The optical transmission characteristics of the fabricated components are investigated and it is shown that excellent performance is achieved. Excess losses as low as 0.01 dB per waveguide crossing, the lowest reported value for such components, and bending losses below 1 dB for 90-degree and S-shaped bends are obtained even with multimode fiber launches. Moreover, high-uniformity power splitting and low-loss signal combining are achieved with Y-shaped splitter/combiners while a variable splitting ratio between 30%–75% is demonstrated with the use of multimode couplers. Overall, the devices presented are attractive potential candidates for use in on-board optical links.      

Radiation- and Bound-Mode Propagation in Rectangular, Multimode Dielectric, Channel Waveguides With Sidewall Roughness

This paper calculates and displays accurate radiation modes for rectangular, multimode dielectric, channel waveguides, for the first time, and introduces the new semianalytical calculation method used to find them, the radiation-mode Fourier decomposition method (RFDM), which is an extension of the Fourier decomposition method (FDM) for finding bound propagating modes. The optimum choice of non-linear conformal transformation parameters is discussed for achieving highest accuracy. Once the radiation modes are known, the coupling coefficients can be found between the bound and radiation modes, as well as those between the bound modes themselves, andhence, the propagation loss can be found. The paper adapts Marcuse's coupled power theory, for the first time, to enable it to model propagation in rectangular, multimode dielectric, channel waveguides suffering from one dimensional sidewall roughness enabling the equilibrium distance to be calculated, at which rate of loss to radiation modes becomes constant, and to find that equilibrium propagation loss, and the dependence on the statistical properties of the wall roughness. This leads to the conclusion that at sufficient distance there exist two uncoupled modes, a symmetric and an asymmetric lowest order mode.
