Abstract: | Calculated and measured properties of InGaAsP/InP waveguides are compared. The spectral response of Bragg gratings was used to measure precisely the effective indexes of the guided modes of InGaAsP/InP waveguides. The shape of the near fields and the effective refractive indexes of waveguides, which support more than one guided mode, show an excellent agreement between theory and experiment. It is shown that rigorous calculation methods such as the finite-element method can be used to predict exactly the optical properties of integrated devices |
