چکیده
We propose a method for refractive index profiling based on measuring coordinates and angles of laser beams passing across the waveguide layer. Calculations are performed by solving an integral equation using new global optimization methods.

Fabrication and inter-channel crosstalk analysis of polymer optical waveguides with W-shaped index profile for high-density optical interconnections.
For applications in high-density and high-speed optical interconnections, we propose to utilize polymer parallel optical waveguides (PPOWs) with so-called W-shaped refractive index profile in the core area. A W-shaped index profile is composed of a parabolic index distribution surrounded by a narrow index valley, followed by a cladding with a uniform refractive index. We expect that W-shaped in...
متن کاملLarge UV-induced negative index changes in germanium-free nitrogen-doped planar SiO2 waveguides
Introduction: Silicon oxynitride (SiON) offers a higher degree of design freedom in the fabrication of planar optical waveguides, because the refractive index can be varied from 1.45 (SiO2) up to 2.00 (Si3N4). A refractive index contrast of 0.05 allows the fabrication of waveguides with a curvature radius of 1–2mm, which is a factor of 10 smaller than that of conventional Ge-doped SiO2 waveguid...
متن کاملOptical fiber refractive index profile synthesis from near field
Abstract – A new and accurate refractive index profile synthesis method for optical waveguides is demonstrated using the transmitted near electric field data. This method is based on an inverse transmission line technique. From Maxwell’s equations, we derive a transmission line equivalent circuit for the refractive index profile of a cylindrical dielectric waveguide. We demonstrate how to use t...
متن کاملThe Design of half-subtractor Logic Function Based on Nonlinear Directional Coupler
In this paper a novel design of all-optical half-subtractor based on nonlinear directional coupler is proposed. By using four waveguides and appropriately adjusting the refractive indices and selecting the proper length of waveguides, halfsubtractor function can be obtained. The operation of this function is simulated by RSoft CAD-Layout (BeamPROP) simulator. The simulation results confirm the ...
