Highly-efficient three-port output by metal-mirror-based grating

چکیده
A highly-efficient three-port output of metal-mirror-based grating is proposed in this paper. The metal-mirror-based grating can function as a beam splitter which can diffract the normal incident wave into the 0th and the ±1st orders for both TE and TM polarizations with the usual duty cycle of 0.5. The analysis of the grating parameters can be optimized by rigorous coupled-wave analysis. The high efficiency for TE and TM polarizations shall be realized. By means of the numerical simulation, the depth and connecting layer thickness of grating can be accurately calculated. The efficiency of per port is near 33.3%, so the novel three-port output grating with a connecting layer would be an excellent optical element.

متن کاملInput-output relations for a three-port grating coupled Fabry-Perot cavity.
We analyze an optical three-port reflection grating by means of a scattering matrix formalism. Amplitude and phase relations among the three ports, i.e., the three orders of diffraction, are derived. Such a grating can be used as an all-reflective, low-loss coupler to Fabry-Perot cavities. We derive the input-output relations of a three-port grating coupled cavity and find distinct properties t...

متن کاملAll-reflective coupling of two optical cavities with 3-port diffraction gratings.
The shot-noise limited sensitivity of Michelson-type laser interferometers with Fabry-Perot arm cavities can be increased by the so-called power-recycling technique. In such a scheme the power-recycling cavity is optically coupled with the interferometer's arm cavities. A problem arises because the central coupling mirror transmits a rather high laser power and may show thermal lensing, thermo-...
متن کاملEfficient and tolerant resonant grating coupler for multimode optical interconnections.
More than 60% overall coupling efficiency is achieved in the demonstrator of an optical interconnect comprising an input grating coupler, a multimode slab waveguide section and an output grating coupler. The grating coupling strength is enhanced by means of a leaky mode resonance. The efficiency of the resonant grating coupler compares favourably with the performancs reported on mirror inserts.
