چکیده
In this paper a multiphysics approach to study the optical properties of integrated waveguides influenced by thermal and mechanical stress is presented. The heating and pressure effects are evaluated by means the Heat Transfer and Structural Mechanics modules respectively. Finally, the Electromagnetics Module is used in order to evaluate the optical eigenfunctions and eigenvalues.

Microphotonic silicon waveguide components
This thesis describes the design, simulation, fabrication and characterisation of microphotonic silicon waveguide components on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates. The focus is on approximately 10 μm thick and single-moded (SM) silicon rib waveguides. In particular, simulation results are given for straight and bent Si waveguides, directional couplers (DCs), thermo-optically (TO) modulated M...
متن کاملInvestigation of Thermal Dispersion and Thermally-Induced Birefringence on High-Power Double Clad Yb:Glass Fiber Laser
In this work the effects of heat generation on the modes of Yb:Glass double clad fiber laser were investigated. The thermal dispersion and thermally-induced birefringence were considered when the gain medium becomes an anisotropic medium. The results showed considerable modifications of laser modes profiles, in particular for transfer magnetic (TM) and transfer electric (TE) modes which their p...
متن کاملLarge tuning of birefringence in two strip silicon waveguides via optomechanical motion.
We present an optomechanical method to tune phase and group birefringence in parallel silicon strip waveguides. We first calculate the deformation of suspended, parallel strip waveguides due to optical forces. We optimize the frequency and polarization of the pump light to obtain a 9 nm deformation for an optical power of 20 mW. Widely tunable phase and group birefringence can be achieved by va...
متن کاملWavelength conversion in silicon using Raman induced four-wave mixing
Silicon integrated optics has emerged as an attractive technology for realizing passive devices because of the efficient silicon-on-insulator sSOId guiding structures and foundry compatible processing technology. However, silicon is generally perceived to be devoid of active optical properties that are needed to realize more sophisticated optical functions such as, amplification and wavelength ...
متن کاملA Novel Method to Decrease Micro-residual Stresses of Fibrous Composites by Adding Carbon Nanotube
In this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is proposed in detail. The negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of CNTs can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. To this end, first, the effects of adding CNTs to the matrix of fibrous composi...
