Design of Semiconductor Hetero-Structure Directional Coupler

According to the properties of semiconductor,several kinds of strip waveguide structures of a directional coupler are studied.We present a hereto-structure strip-loaded film waveguide which is suitable to coupling.Using the principle of plane wave pro- pagation equivalent to transmission line,we derive the eigenvalue equation of multi- layer plane waveguide.On the bases of equivalent refractive index method and coupl- ing mode theory,taking account of the technological conditions,we obtain the rela- tionship of waveguide structure and device parameters by means of numerical simula- tion.Through optimization,several design results of physical InP-InGaAsP monomode direcectional couplers are given
