چکیده
The paper presents the results of numerical analyses of the structures of integrated optics in the form of planar waveguides made of materials with high values of the refractive index n = 2.00 and with an input-output system in the form of Bragg grating couplers. The numerical investigations were carried out by using the FDTD method (Finite Difference Time Domain method).

Bandwidth analysis of waveguide grating coupler.
The bandwidth of planar waveguide grating couplers is theoretically investigated based on the rigorous grating theory. We observe that the bandwidth behavior is not only determined by the grating coupler intrinsic properties, but also affected by the fiber parameters such as position, beam waist and Numerical Aperture. The rigorous bandwidth formula is derived. By analyzing the formula, several...
متن کاملGrating-Assisted Fibre-Slab Couplers
Coupled-mode equations for an asymmetric fibre-to-planar optical coupling system, incorporated a grating structure are presented. A grating-assisted coupling coefficient is described. When the parameters of the coupler are such that there is no phase synchronism between the fibre and the slab modes, the grating enhances the coupling in both the resultant amplitude and phase modulation. However,...
متن کاملNumerical optimization of a grating coupler for the efficient excitation of surface plasmons at an Ag-SiO2 interface
The efficient generation of surface plasmons from free space optical waves is still an open problem in the field. Here we present a methodology and optimized design for a grating coupler. The photoexcitation of surface plasmons at an Ag-SiO2 interface is numerically demonstrated to yield greater than 50% coupling from a Gaussian beam into surface plasmon voltages and currents.

متن کاملA simple miniature optical spectrometer with a planar waveguide grating coupler in combination with a plano-convex lens.
A miniature optical spectrometer with a thin-film planar waveguide grating coupler in combination with a miniature plano-convex focusing lens has been investigated. With optical part of the spectrometer as small as 0.2 cubic cm, the spectral resolution varies from 0.3 nm to 4.6 nm within the wavelength range 488.0 nm - 632.8 nm.
