Leakage loss in trench-bulge waveguides

This paper shows that leakage loss is an important loss mechanism in integrated optical trench-bulge waveguides. The propagation losses due to leakage can easily exceed 1 dB/cm in these waveguide geometries. By simply using a deeper trench or a cavity in the substrate to deposit the waveguide in, the leakage losses can be reduced dramatically.     

Stress in copper ion-exchanged glass waveguides

This paper obtains stress profiles of copper ion-exchanged glass waveguides from the analysis of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes which was measured by means of the prism-coupling technique. The reconstruction of stress profiles have been realized from an interpolation of the obtained data of effective refractive indexes. We found that the stress profiles decrease with the depth, in agreement with the behaviour of refractive index profiles. We also discuss the theory of the swelling of the glassy network, and we used an approximated model to fit our data of swelling versus diffusion time. The swelling measurements were done by means of a microinterferometrical technique

Scattering loss reduction in polymer waveguides by reflowing

A polymer channel waveguide was fabricated by reactive ion etching. Loss measurements were performed on this waveguide before and after reflowing. The waveguide loss decreases from 3 to 1 dB/cm by heating the sample slightly above the glass transition temperature of the core material. This result in channel loss is very close to the measured film losses of 0.8 dB/cm.     

Scattering loss of antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides

The scattering loss of two-dimensional antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides (ARROW) and of ARROW-B, which has a similar structure to ARROW and less polarization dependence, are analyzed by the first-order perturbation theory. Calculated results are compared with those of conventional three layer waveguides. Optimum design for the reduction of scattering loss of these ARROW-type waveguides is discussed. It was found that the scattering loss of ARROW-type waveguides is no larger than that of a conventional waveguide having a relative refractive-index difference, Δ of 2.5%, despite each interface of ARROW-type waveguides having a large Δ, normally larger than 20%. The optimum design for the reduction of essential radiation loss of ARROW is also optimum for the reduction of scattering loss     

Conductor loss in hollow waveguides using surface integralformulation

The power-loss method along with a surface integral formulation is used to compute the attenuation constant in hollow waveguides of arbitrary cross-section.

An iterative technique, i.e. Muller's method, is used to obtain the relation between the propagation constant and frequency. The attenuation constants have been calculated and formulated for various waveguides and are in good agreement with published data
