GaAs Optical Stripline.
Abstract
This report describes work on optical stripline waveguide modulators and switches. Seventy percent amplitude modulation was achieved with two types of single-stripline modulators. Several sets of optical stripline directional couplers having different waveguide widths and separations were fabricated; passive 3 dB coupling lengths as short as 2.0 mm with 97% power transfer were observed. Stripline directional coupler switches were fabricated in which switching as high as 90% was observed. Materials growth and fabrication techniques required in this program are described in Section II of this report. A discussion of the work on the waveguide modulator and the directional coupler switch is contained in Sections III and IV.
