Theoretical Study and Experimental Development of Thin-Film Lasers and Modulators for use in Integrated Optics.

Abstract

Wave-optics analysis of thin-film modulators based on the principle of polarization conversion was completed and experimental demonstration of the principle was performed. Novel structures for Bragg lasers were proposed and analyzed. The feedback mechnisms were elucidated which made possible many possible structures for thin-film Bragg lasers. Experimental work on gratings and chemical etching showed excellent results.
