Engineering of metal-clad optical nanocavity to optimize coupling with integrated waveguides.
We propose a cladding engineering method that flexibly modifies the radiation patterns and rates of metal-clad nanoscale optical cavity. Optimally adjusting the cladding symmetry of the metal-clad nanoscale optical cavity modifies the modal symmetry and produces highly directional radiation that leads to 90% coupling efficiency into an integrated waveguide. In addition, the radiation rate of th...
متن کاملAnalysis of integrated optical waveguides
An overview of the analysis of integrated optical waveguides is presented. Starting from the Maxwell’s equations, a formulation of the problem for general 3-D structures will be introduced. Then, for longitudinally invariant structures, problem for waveguides with 2-D cross section is presented for vectorial, semivectorial, and scalar formulations. Simpler 1-D case for planar structure will the...
متن کاملEfficient waveguide-coupling of metal-clad nanolaser cavities.
Many remarkable semiconductor-based nanolaser cavities using metal have been reported in past few years. However, the efficient coupling of these small cavities to waveguides still remains a large challenge. Here, we show highly efficient coupling of a semiconductor-based metal-clad nanolaser cavity operating in the fundamental dielectric cavity mode to a silicon-on-insulator waveguide. By engi...
متن کاملA simplified broadband coupling approach applied to chemically robust sol-gel, planar integrated optical waveguides.
A new generation waveguide spectrometer with broadband coupling capabilities has been developed. As opposed to previous devices, this attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectrometer is much simpler in design, is more chemically robust, and transmits light down to at least 400 nm. The attenuated total reflection element consists of a single-mode, planar integrated optical waveguide fabricated by ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Optical Coupling for SOI Waveguides
Optical coupling loss and alignment tolerance between SOI waveguides and laser diodes were investigated. It was found that the minimum optical coupling loss was about 1.6 dB and alignment tolerance was about ±0.7 μm. An optical input/output interface for optical fibers was also proposed and investigated the coupling loss characteristics.
