We report a composite waveguide fabricated by attaching a coupling aperture to a waveguide. The acoustic impedance of the composite waveguide can be regulated by merely controlling its coupling vibrations, depending on its structure size. By changing the size to adjust the acoustic impedance of the composite waveguide at an impedance-mismatched fluidic interface, tunable sound transmission at t...

The spectrum of the Schrödinger operator in a quantum waveguide is known to be unstable in two and three dimensions. Any enlargement of the waveguide produces eigenvalues beneath the continuous spectrum [BGRS]. Also if the waveguide is bent eigenvalues will arise below the continuous spectrum [DE]. In this paper a magnetic field is added into the system. The spectrum of the magnetic Schrödinger...

The digital waveguide mesh is an extension of the one-dimensional digital waveguide technique. Waveguide meshes are used for simulation of two-and three-dimensional wave propagation in musical instruments and acoustic spaces. The original waveguide mesh algorithm suffers from direction-dependent dispersion. In this paper we show that this problem may be reduced by using an interpolated rectilin...

We report the design of microwave waveguide devices based on complementary media. Various kinds of waveguide devices that possess nearly 100% transmission efficiency are proposed, such as waveguide bends, splitters, connectors, and shifters. Compared with previous work on waveguide devices of low reflection and minimized distortion based on transformation optics, our transform media are homogen...

This paper presents an open waveguide consisting of tightly coupled double layered microstrip resonator array to provide an easy access for wireless devices in short range communications. Electromagnetic wave is concentrated in the waveguide and excitation from wireless devices to the guide is obtained by proximate coupling. The propagation loss in the waveguide is lower than the free space pro...

We demonstrate theoretically the existence of one-way electromagnetic modes in a waveguide formed between a semi-infinite photonic crystal structure and a semi-infinite metal region under a static magnetic field. Such a waveguide provides a frequency range where only one propagating direction is allowed. In this frequency range, disorder-induced scattering is completely suppressed. Such a waveg...

We numerically investigate nonlinear self-polarization flipping in a silicon waveguide. We identify specific silicon waveguide geometries that enhance this effect to facilitate its fabrication and experimental demonstration by varying various parameters such as fabrication distortion, waveguide loss, dispersion and laser noise to design the silicon waveguide. In optimized waveguides, we show th...

We describe a method of auditory display of complex data, object identification, and classification using digital waveguides and waveguide mesh. Our overall goal is to distinguish highly dimensional data sets from one another in such a way that reveals meaningful differences in a particular context. In this paper we provide a summary of the application of waveguide and waveguide mesh architectu...

We characterize the alpha power and chirped types of refractive index profile planar slab waveguide in terms of TE/TM mode study, waveguide dispersion study, mode profile properties, power confinement factor and universal b-V graph. Our own developed finite element method has been efficiently applied to analyze the symmetric planar slab waveguide having a complicated refractive index profile. T...

A polarization splitter and rotator (PSR) based on a tapered directional coupler with relaxed fabrication tolerance is proposed and demonstrated on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The device is simply constructed by parallel-coupling a narrow silicon waveguide with a linearly tapered wider waveguide. Compared to previously reported PSRs based on a normal directional coupler, which suffer fro...
