Design of a Liquid Crystal Tunable Directional Coupler
The accurate analysis of optical waveguides is an important issue when designing devices for optical communication purposes. Different numerical approaches exist for modeling waveguide structures and one of the most important issues is the calculation of the guided modes of the waveguide. Commercial programs are widely available for the analysis of isotropic waveguides or waveguides with a redu...
متن کاملSilicon Photonics: A Review
Previously, researchers were trying to replace the copper wires with the optical technology. They used photons instead of electrons to carry out the data within machines. The future of IC industry depends upon the speed and bandwidth requirements, but in metallic interconnections we have constraints on speed as well as bandwidth. With the advancement in computer technology we are now more depen...
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 کاملSilicon photonics packaging with lateral fiber coupling to apodized grating coupler embedded circuit.
We report a novel lateral packaging approach using laser welding technique with angle polished fiber coupling to grating coupler embedded silicon photonic circuit. Measurements show the relax alignment tolerance for fiber packaging process. The packaging excess loss of 1.2 dB is achieved. The use of angle polished fiber for lateral fiber coupling enables an alternative way for cost-effective de...
متن کاملTemperature-Gradient-Driven Tearing Modes
The observation of spontaneous islands growth in tokamak experiments indicates that the tearing mode could also be linearly unstable. However, in the framework of resistive magnetohydrodynamics, previous works have demonstrated that drift effects, electron heat transport along magnetic field lines and ion Larmor radius effects have stabilizing effects. Recently, numerical calculations and analy...
