Improved Extinction Ratios for Both Cross and Bar States Using Two-Section Ultra Short Vertical Directional Couplers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that both cross and bar states with high extinction ratios larger than 30 dB can be achieved in ultra short vertical directional couplers with two sections. Various combinations of the refractive indices in the two sections are studied using the improved coupled mode theory and the beam propagation method. Design guidelines to achieve high extinction ratios with large tolerances are presented.

Ultra Short Two-Section Vertical Directional Coupler Switches with High Extinction Ratios
We show that both cross and bar states with high extinction ratios larger than 30 dB can be achieved at the same end of ultra short fused vertical directional coupler switches (FVCSs) with two sections by changing the refractive indices of cores and inner cladding layer less than 1%. The improvement of extinction ratios for various combinations of the refractive indices in a two-section FVCS is...
متن کاملA Novel Vertical Directional Coupler Switch With Switching-Operation-Induced Section and Extinction-Ratio-Enhanced Section
A novel vertical directional coupler switch with a switching-operation-induced section and an extinction-ratioenhanced section is proposed. Switching operation is achieved by changing the refractive indexes of both cores in the switchingoperation-induced section, and an improvement of extinction ratios larger than 30 dB for both cross and bar states is achieved by controlling the asymmetry of t...
متن کاملImproved Extinction Ratio in Ultra Short Directional Couplers Using Asymmetric Structures
Directional couplers are critical components in photonic integrated circuits used in optical communication systems. The conventional directional couplers with laterally arranged waveguides can not achieve very short coupling lengths due to extreme sensitivity to fabrication variations and limitations to produce uniformly very narrow gap layers.1) Vertical directional couplers, however, can obta...

Wafer fusion technique for realization of compact waveguide switches and three-dimensional (3-D) photonic integrated circuits is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Calculations based on beam propagation method show that very short vertical directional couplers with coupling lengths from 40 to 220 m and high extinction ratios from 20 to 32 dB can be realized. These extinction ratios ...

Directional couplers are passive devices which are used as power dividers and combiners in microwave, millimeter and terahertz systems. By the use of substrate integrated waveguides (SIW) for the design of such devices, the advantages of waveguide and printed circuit (PC) technologies are utilized simultaneously, such as low cost, small size, low transmission and radiation losses. In this paper...
