Surface Wave Mode Coupling of Straight and Curved Dielectric Optical Waveguides.
Abstract
The objective of this research project was to investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the optical wave guiding properties of dielectric channels used in integrated optics. The goal was to develop knowledge essential in specification, design and utilization of optical integrated circuits. More specifically it includes the development of: Guidelines for design of dielectric channel waveguides having desirable propagation, loss and radiation characteristics; Guidelines for spacing two dielectric channel waveguides so as to avoid coupling between them; Guidelines for design of bends in dielectric channel waveguides so as to minimize the radiation loss by the bend, or to use the radiation from the bend in a controlled manner; and, Design criteria for optical components such as directional couplers, isolators, channels, selectors, frequency selectors, etc.
