Ultrashort 2-D photonic crystal directional couplers 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A novel approach to reduce the coupling length and to increase the coupling coefficient in waveguide directional couplers implemented on two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) is proposed. To increase the coupling coefficient of a 2-D PhC directional coupler, which is composed of two parallel PhC waveguides separated by one or several rows of rods, the radius of the rods between both waveguides is reduced. The application of this feature to ultrasmall channel interleavers and wavelength demultiplexers is addressed. 相似文献

The analysis of parallel waveguides can be performed either by expressing the coupling of energy between individual, primary guides (coupled-mode approach) or by directly analyzing a structure consisting of all the guides and their surrounding media (normal-mode approach). A comparison of these two approaches, as well as the derivation of relations enabling the conversion of data, when possible, from one approach to the other, are presented in this paper. Finally, the results are used to investigate the dependence of the coupling coefficient on the spacing between the guides. Although the derivations are performed for 2-D (slab) configurations, the results pertain to 3-D guides as well, by applying an effective refractive-index method. It is also shown that normal-mode analysis predicts incomplete transfer of energy for strongly coupled guides, even for perfectly symmetric configurations. 相似文献

This paper describes the fabrication and characterization of optical/electrical printed circuit boards (O/E-PCB) with embedded multimodal step index (MM-SI) waveguides and integrated out-of-plane micromirrors (IMMs) for three-dimensional (3-D) optical interconnects. Optical circuitry is built up on PCBs using UV lithography; 45/spl deg/ input/output (I/O) couplers are fabricated by inclined exposure. Commercial polymers are used as optical core and cladding materials. Critical mirror properties of angle, surface quality, reflectivity, and coupling efficiency are characterized experimentally and theoretically. Optical and scanning electron microscopy, white light interferometry, and fiber scanning method are used in the investigations. Sloping profiles measured as a function of the incident light showed the attainment of mirror angles of /spl alpha/=36/spl deg/-45/spl deg/ with /spl plusmn/2/spl deg/ consistency. Near-field optical imaging with a white light source showed that out-of-plane beam turning was achieved. Topography investigations revealed a rectilinear negative tapering shape regardless of the incoming beam angle or type of substrate. However, higher substrate reflectancy was observed to lower the mirror angle. The average propagation loss measured for 10-cm-long waveguides at /spl lambda/=850 nm by the cut-back method was 0.60 dB/cm; the excess loss calculated for the mirror coupling was 1.8-2.3 dB. The results showed that the IMMs can be incorporated in O/E-PCBs to couple light in and out of planar waveguides. Furthermore, the presented results indicate that optical waveguides with integrated micromirrors for optical 3-D wiring can be produced compatible with volume manufacturing techniques. 相似文献

Sharp resonance features are observed in the polarized reflectivity spectra of semiconductor photonic crystals fabricated by deep periodic patterning of AlGaAs surface waveguides. Both one- (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) lattices are studied by angular dependent reflectivity. By comparison with theory we show that the sharp features in reflectivity arise from resonant coupling of the external radiation to the folded band structure of the photonic crystal waveguides. Wavevector selective coupling to “heavy photon” states at the edge of the photonic Brillouin zone is demonstrated for the 1-D lattices. In the case of the 2-D lattices we observe polarization mixing of the photonic hands. Theoretical reflectivity spectra were obtained from a numerical solution of Maxwells equations for the patterned waveguide and were found to be in very good agreement with experiment 相似文献

A novel three-dimensional (3-D) propagation analysis of coupled waveguides using local normal modes and the segmentation along the propagation axis was developed. The coupling efficiency of vertically coupled microring resonators was optimally designed using this analysis. The computation time is much faster and the required memory capacity is much smaller than those of the 3-D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. 相似文献

An analysis is presented of the coupling between parallel-plate waveguides excited in TE modes. Integro-differential equations are formulated for finite arrays of such waveguides with arbitrary widths and spacings. The waveguides, moreover, may be loaded with dielectric plugs having different dielectric constants and thicknesses. Solutions to these equations are effected by the method of moments. Extensive numerical data are obtained for the coupling between two waveguides, and their characteristics are examined in detail. The results show that in unloaded situations the coupling diminishes monotonically with increasings/lambda , wheres is the separation between the waveguides andlambda is the wavelength. At a given frequency, moreover, the coupling for larges decreases asymptotically ass^{-3/2} . By contrast, an asymptotic dependence ofs^{-3/2} was uncovered earlier for TM-mode coupling. It is found that substantially different coupling behavior may result when the waveguides are loaded by dielectric plugs because of the excitation by the aperture discontinuity of higher order modes, which propagate inside the dielectric but are attenuated in the unloaded waveguide region. Of particular interest is the observation, under suitable conditions, of resonance characteristics in the coupling as functions of both the frequency and the thickness of the dielectric plug. These resonances are found to occur when the impedances of a certain higher order mode satisfy the transverse resonance condition, and thus are the manifestation of the resonances of such modes inside the cavity formed by the dielectric plug. 相似文献

A finite-element full-vectorial beam-propagation method is presented, for the first time, for the analysis of 3-D anisotropic optical waveguides. Full 3×3 permittivity and permeability tensors are considered. The formulation takes into account the polarization dependence and the component coupling due to the waveguide geometry and the medium anisotropy without any analytical approximations. The perfectly matched anisotropic absorber is introduced to eliminate the influence of the computational border on the numerical solutions. The correctness of the proposed approach is verified by analyzing several kinds of anisotropies. For the first time, a full vectorial finite-element propagation analysis is presented for diffuse waveguides and magnetooptic devices 相似文献

Two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal (PC) directional couplers (DCs) that have a triangular lattice pattern of air holes in a planar dielectric slab are theoretically and experimentally analyzed. Unlike the 2-D PC DC structure with a dielectric rod in air, which is frequently used in theoretical studies, more practical PC DCs tend to be multimode in nature and exhibit a large group velocity dispersion, thus creating decoupling points in the dispersion relation without any additional modifications to the structure. The multimode nature and large dispersion lead to interference which degrades the coupling properties. By inserting three rows of air holes between neighboring line-defect waveguides in order to separate them, we have successfully reduced the multimode region and obtained a single-mode region. In this case, the large dispersion allows the creation of a PC DC with wavelength selectivity and a coupling length as short as 30 a,/spl sim/10 /spl mu/m for a=345 nm, where a is the lattice constant. The transmission spectra obtained experimentally showed good agreement with the theory whereas their transmission ranges were restricted to those of bent waveguides. These results are encouraging for practical application to optical communications. 相似文献

An analysis of intersecting diffused channel waveguides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The coupling characteristics of intersecting diffused channel waveguides are computed for realistic three-dimensional diffusion profiles by means of the propagating beam method (PBM). Both TE and TM polarizations are treated for waveguides formed onz -cut LiNbO3 . Good agreement between computed and previously reported measured results is found for the TE polarization. Agreement between computed and measured results is not as good for the TM polarization. This is explained by the fact that the applicable2Deltan -waveguide supports four modes, which should make coupling characteristics very sensitive to input conditions. 相似文献

By using micro-prisms, improved three-dimensional (3-D) bends of the embedded and buried waveguides of step-index profile are proposed. A simple phase compensation rule for the optimal design of the micro-prism is also presented. Through the simulation of 3-D semivectorial finite-difference beam propagation method, the transmission characteristics of the improved bends are shown to have been enhanced dramatically as compared with those of the conventional ones. Even for a bend angle of as large as 10°, the normalized transmitted power can still be greater than 95%. These results of 3-D bends are then compared with those of the two-dimensional (2-D) ones which are simplified from 3-D structures by the effective index method, and physical explanation of the discrepancy between the 3-D and 2-D results is introduced. The influences of waveguide structures and prism parameters on the transmission characteristics are discussed in detail. Some criteria for the design of large-angle low-loss 3-D improved bends are also accessed 相似文献

Mode coupling between local normal modes in branching and separating optical waveguides is treated. An analytic solution for power transfer is provided for structures whose shape has a particular functional form. Analytic results are compared to numerical calculations for linear branches. Numerical examples for the design of shaped structures fabricated with Ti:LiNbO3 channel waveguides are given. 相似文献

A directional coupling mechanism between different waveguides in a periodic array of waveguides is suggested. The optical power transfer between two different waveguides is mediated by the coupling between zero-order modes of two of the waveguides and the second band of the periodic structure. Analytical solutions for the no-detuning (narrow band) and far-from-resonance cases are presented. The far-from-resonance case is shown to resemble a simple two-mode system with complete optical power transfer between the two waveguides, coupled by localized gratings. The transfer is mediated by the second band of the periodic structure. The transition length depends strongly on the shape of the perturbation, and depends exponentially on the distance between the waveguides, yet it allows us to transfer power from one waveguide to another at such distances, for which the transition via conventional directional tunneling mechanism is impossible. Our analytical results are supported by numerical calculations carried out for a model problem with realistic parameters. 相似文献

A moment method for handling arbitrarily shaped 2-D and 3-D waveguides that involve either conductors, finite-size dielectric regions, or both is presented. A procedure for modeling the dielectric allows 2-D rooftop functions to represent both the 3-D polarization current in the dielectric and the surface current on the conductors, and precludes the presence of fictitious charge within the dielectric. Examples include coaxial, microstrip, and dielectric waveguides. Numerical convergence, consistency with physical principles, and agreement with the literature are demonstrated 相似文献
