An Efficient Mode Reduction Technique for Modeling of Waveguide Gratings
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an efficient mode reduction technique for eigenmode expansion method is developed to analyze 2–D waveguide grating structures which are a special class of piecewise uniform waveguides. To take advantage of the periodicity property of the structure, the eigenmode expansion method (EEM) is used with the scattering matrix method and a recursive-doubling procedure. In this situation, our proposed mode reduction technique achieves a significant speedup for gratings with large number of periods. Comprehensive numerical examples on the waveguide gratings are studied to validate the efficiency of our proposed mode reduction technique.

Effective-index method and coupled-mode theory for almost-periodic waveguide gratings: a comparison.
Contradirectional propagation through active, first-order, almost-periodic, corrugated waveguide gratings is analyzed by using both coupled-mode theory and a combined effective-index/impedance-matching matrix technique. For TE-mode operation, which is near the first-order Bragg wavelength, the equivalence of the two techniques is analytically demonstrated for shallow surface corrugations.

Various grating configurations are introduced to develop structures for the mode conversion of an ultrafast, ultrawide-bandwidth optical pulse propagating in a layered dielectric waveguide. Introducing a new technique for efficient, real-time mode extraction, we examine these schemes with a full-wave, vector, finite difference time domain (FDTD) Maxwell equation simulator. The resulting FDTD si...

متن کاملDemonstration of mode conversion using anti-symmetric waveguide Bragg gratings.
We experimentally demonstrate a novel grating which only produces reflection with mode conversion in a two-mode waveguide. That characteristic can improve the performance of optical devices that currently use tilted Bragg gratings to provide the mode conversion. Tilted Bragg gratings produce also reflections without mode conversion which increases noise and crosstalk of the optical device.

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...
