Low loss coupler to interface silicon waveguide and hybrid plasmonic waveguide
A metallic coupler is proposed to interface a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide with a narrow hybrid plasmonic waveguide (200× 200 nm). The device operation is investigated and optimized to attain the best tradeoff between the mode confinement and the propagation loss. Calculations reveal that a high confinement and low loss of the energy is achieved from a silicon slab waveguide into the di...
متن کاملTunable multimode interference coupler
Introduction: Multimode interference (MMI) couplers have been widely used in integrated photonic devices because of their compact size, wide optical bandwidth, polarisation independence and relaxed fabrication tolerances [1]. In most applications they operate as passive components, and only recently has their use as active components for the development of photonic switches been investigated [2...
متن کاملLow-loss waveguide crossing using a multimode interference structure
A novel design technique for low-loss waveguide crossing using the self-imaging properties of multimode interference (MMI) structures is presented. The technique exploits the observation that optical fields with a small 1/e width relative to that of the MMI structure in the image reformed region experience negligible propagation loss even in the absence of lateral guiding mechanism around the r...
متن کاملA Split-Block Waveguide Directional Coupler
A simple waveguide directional coupler is described which uses the split-block type of construction common in millimeter-wave components. The coupler uses an array of metal probes suspended on quartz stand-offs. Depending on the number of coupling elements, the coupling can be in the range 15-30 dB, with typically ± 2 dB variation across the waveguide band, and directivity > 10 dB. The coupler,...
متن کاملOptimal design method of a low-loss broadband Y branch with a multimode waveguide section.
An optimal design method for a low broadband silica-on-silicon Y branc is considered. A multimode waveguide section, which was used earlier to reduce the excess loss, is designed optimally when the light distribution at the end of the multimode waveguide section is matched to the profile of the symmetric supermode for the structure of the two branching waveguides. An optimization method that co...
