Optimization of Aperiodic Waveguide Mode Converters

Abstract

Stepped aperiodic waveguide structures are designed for mode conversion by numerical optimization coupled with a mode matching solver. Several configurations and design goals are evaluated for performance and dimensional tolerances. Results are validated against a FDTD code.
