Demonstration of mode conversion in an irregular waveguide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Communications wavelength waveguide mode conversion is demonstrated in an irregular metal-walled structure that was designed by using multiresolution optimization. Strong scatter and a large number of degrees of freedom allowed high-efficiency conversion in a device having a length of just a few wavelengths. The fabrication approach draws on standard semiconductor processing. Mode-selective reflectors, splitters, phase shifters, and other elements can be achieved by using this principle.

Demonstration 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.
متن کاملSlow surface plasmon pulse excitation in metal-insulator-metal plasmonic waveguide with chirped grating.
A scheme for the excitation of slow surface plasmon pulses using photonic interband transition in a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide is proposed. An investigation the mode transition behavior inside the binary grating confirmed that the proposed concept can be understood in terms of the coupling of symmetric and anti-symmetric plasmonic modes. We observed that, although a binary grating th...
متن کاملVertically integrated spot-size converter in AlGaAs-GaAs.
We report on the demonstration of a spot size converter (SSC) for monolithic photonic integration at a wavelength of 850 nm on a GaAs substrate. We designed and fabricated a dual-waveguide AlGaAs chip. The design consists of a lower waveguide layer for efficient end-fire coupling to a single-mode fiber, an upper waveguide layer for high refractive index contrast waveguides, and a vertical SSC t...
متن کاملDual-Band Evanescent-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Band-pass Filter for WLAN Applications
A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...
متن کاملExperimental observation of all-optical non-return-to-zero-to-return-to-zero format conversion based on cascaded second-order nonlinearity assisted by active mode-locking.
We report the experimental demonstration of all-optical format conversion by exploiting the cascaded second-harmonic generation and difference-frequency generation (cSHG/DFG) in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide assisted by the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based active mode-locking. 10 and 20 Gbit/s format conversions from non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to ret...
