Group velocity equalisation in multimode waveguides using inverse scattering designs
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In this paper, using an inverse scattering approach, we describe how the selection of mode effective indices and thus phase velocities can be used to control group velocity in a waveguide. As such it is shown that differential group delay can be equalised or minimised over a wavelength of choice. A particular feature of the new designs is the development of rings and a peaked core which may split depending upon the number of guided modes. These designs show characteristics comparable with commercially available fibres but with refractive index profiles that differ from typical graded-index designs.

Multimode Emissions from MEH-PPV Blended with Polystyrene Film Waveguides
In the context of conjugated polymers, especially those of the poly (phenylenevinylene) (PPV) family, which are promising candidates as emission material in light emitting devices such as LEDs, field effect transistors and photovoltaic devices, we have, in the present study, prepared MEH-PPV [Poly [2- methoxy-5-(2’-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylen-evinylene] of low molecular weight and low polydisp...
متن کاملOptical Polarization Filters and Splitters Based on Multimode Interference Structures using Silicon Waveguides
In this paper, we would like to propose a novel design for realizing optical polarization filters and combiners based on multimode interference (MMI) structures using silicon waveguides. The device geometry is simple and eases of fabrication. In addition, analytical and numerical methods are used to optimize the designs for these devices in order to reduce losses and device size.
متن کاملLoss engineered slow light waveguides.
Slow light devices such as photonic crystal waveguides (PhCW) and coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROW) have much promise for optical signal processing applications and a number of successful demonstrations underpinning this promise have already been made. Most of these applications are limited by propagation losses, especially for higher group indices. These losses are caused by technolo...
متن کاملExtrinsic optical scattering loss in photonic crystal waveguides: role of fabrication disorder and photon group velocity.
Formulas are presented that provide clear physical insight into the phenomenon of extrinsic optical scattering loss in photonic crystal waveguides due to random fabrication imperfections such as surface roughness and disorder. Using a photon Green-function-tensor formalism, we derive explicit expressions for the backscattered and total transmission losses. Detailed calculations for planar photo...
متن کاملNarrow-linewidth near-degenerate optical parametric generation achieved with quasi-group-velocity-matching in lithium niobate waveguides.
We demonstrate narrow-linewidth near-degenerate optical parametric generation in reverse-proton-exchange lithium niobate waveguides with quasi-group-velocity-matching, which is realized by using wavelength-selective directional couplers and tight-radius bends. With appropriate designs for 1.6 ps long pump pulses at 785.1 nm we obtained near-degenerate signal (idler) pulses with a time-bandwidth...
