Micron-Sized Imaging System Based on Multimode Waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design and analysis of an extremely compact micron-sized imaging system consisting of a multimode rectangular waveguide is presented, and both the onand off-axis imaging characteristics in the far field are studied. The imaging capabilities of this system are comparable to that of a high numerical aperture lens system with the advantage that it is extremely compact, simple to be fabricated and can be extended to arrays. # 2007 The Optical Society of Japan

Imaging by silicon on insulator waveguides
We present multiphoton imaging based on semiconductor planar waveguide technology which can be used as a transmitter and receiver simultaneously. In particular, silicon on insulator waveguides with p-i-n diode structures are used to demonstrate 5 m resolution three-photon imaging of Er3+ :Y2O3 microparticles by using 1550 nm excitation. Additional theoretical study has been performed to demonst...
متن کاملMultimode interference demultiplexers and splitters in metal-insulator-metal waveguides.
Multimode interference (MMI) effect in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides is studied in this paper. Theoretical calculation based on the self-imaging principle and the finite element method (FEM) simulation are used to analyze the effect and further guide the design of plasmonic MMI devices. We show that wavelength-selective routing and splitting with high extinction ratios can be realized ...
متن کاملMultimode 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 کاملFDTD analysis of PBG waveguides, power splitters and switches
Finite two-dimensional photonic bandgap (PBG) structures were analyzed with a ®nite-difference time-domain (FDTD) full wave, vector Maxwell equation simulator. Removal of particular portions of these PBG structures lead to interesting sub-micron-sized waveguiding environments. Several waveguides and power dividers were designed and evaluated. By introducing further defects into the PBG waveguid...
متن کاملAnalysis of the self-imaging effect in plasmonic multimode waveguides.
We present studies on the propagation of plasmon waves in metallic multimode waveguides surrounded by a dielectric medium. The permittivity of the metal was determined by a Drude model. The propagation was simulated by the method of lines. The propagating field exhibited the well-known self-imaging phenomenon known as the Talbot effect. The metallic waveguides are lossy. The influence of variou...
