Plastic Optical Fiber Coupler with High Index Contrast Waveguide Taper
A simple low-cost Y-branch plastic optical fiber (POF) coupler which can be assembled easily by the end users has been developed. The acrylic-based Y-Branch POF coupler consists of input POF fiber, a middle high index contrast waveguide taper and output POF fibers. The optical device is based on a 1 × 2 Y-branch coupler design with a middle high index contrast waveguide taper. Nonsequential ray...
متن کاملWavelength response of waveguide volume grating couplers for optical interconnects.
The wavelength response of a waveguide volume grating coupler (WVGC) is analyzed for coupling light from a slab waveguide into the superstrate. A leaky-mode approach is used in conjunction with rigorous coupled-wave analysis. A quantitative theoretical study of the effect of index modulation, waveguide index, and grating thickness on the wavelength bandpass of a WVGC is also presented. The FWHM...
متن کاملSiON high-refractive-index waveguide and planar lightwave circuits
The rapidly growing optical communication market requires photonic components with ever-increasing functionality and complexity that can be fabricated reliably at low cost. Of the various approaches used to fabricate photonic components, those based on planar waveguides have achieved high performance and represent a promising path toward compact integration of optical functions. We present an o...
متن کاملDesign of a High Index Contrast Arrayed Waveguide Grating
Arrayed waveguide gratings are useful structures for the implementation of wavelength division multiplexing; however, in their current form, silica-based gratings are too large to be made cheaply or to use as an integrated component. This paper describes a Master of Engineering thesis which will attempt to design such a structure which is at least one order of magnitude smaller than the best on...
متن کاملDesign of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks
This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...
