Right angle bends in light pipes: analysis.
An expression for the fraction of incident radiation transmitted by a right angle bend in a rectangular light pipe is derived. This expression is used to show that, in a planar light pipe structure with right angle bends, light attenuation is due only to reflection losses at the walls if the launching angle is 45 degrees .
متن کاملHigh confinement in silicon slot waveguides with sharp bends.
Slot waveguides allow for high optical confinement in a planar optical waveguide. Here we show a method for maintaining this high degree of confinement in slot waveguides with sharp bends. This high confinement can be achieved by using an asymmetric slot-based structure, where the mode in the bend remains localized in the slot region. We show that the relative power inside the slot can be as hi...
متن کاملHigh Efficiency Silicon Strip Waveguide to Plasmonic Slot Waveguide Mode Converter
A high-efficiency silicon strip waveguide to plasmonic slot waveguide converter based on the hybrid silicon-gold taper is proposed and optimized. Through investigating the mode matching, the effective index matching, and the metallic absorption loss considerations, the hybrid silicon-gold taper with an overall length of 1.7 μm having a very high conversion efficiency of 93.3% at 1550nm is achie...
متن کاملDemonstration of high waveguide bending efficiency (>90%) in a photonic-crystal slab at 1.5μm wavelengths
Using a two-dimensional (2D) photonic-crystal slab structure, we have demonstrated a strong 2D photonic band gap with the capability of fully controlling light in all three dimensions[1]. Our demonstration confirms the predictions [2] on the possibility of achieving 3D light control using 2D band gaps, with strong index guiding providing control in the third dimension, and raise the prospect of...
متن کاملSimultaneous Drawing of Planar Graphs with Right-Angle Crossings and Few Bends
Given two planar graphs that are defined on the same set of vertices, a RAC simultaneous drawing is a drawing of the two graphs where each graph is drawn planar, no two edges overlap, and edges of one graph can cross edges of the other graph only at right angles. In the geometric version of the problem, vertices are drawn as points and edges as straight-line segments. It is known, however, that...
