A Split-Block Waveguide Directional Coupler
A simple waveguide directional coupler is described which uses the split-block type of construction common in millimeter-wave components. The coupler uses an array of metal probes suspended on quartz stand-offs. Depending on the number of coupling elements, the coupling can be in the range 15-30 dB, with typically ± 2 dB variation across the waveguide band, and directivity > 10 dB. The coupler,...
متن کاملring resonator coupled m-z all-optical switch by using a pumped nonlinear directional coupler
we propose a new ring resonator side-coupled m-z interferometer all-optical switch throughthe pumped nonlinear directional coupler. by controlling pump power p to lead the coupler reflectivityr approaching to 1, the resonator finesse will be enhanced dramatically, and then the minimumswitching power in silica-based practice devices can be obtained. as a sample, we use a nonlinearcoupler made by...
متن کاملA novel design for all-optical NAND/NOR/XOR gates based on nonlinear directional coupler
In this paper a novel all-optical logic NAND, NOR and XOR gate based on nonlinear directional coupler theory is demonstrated. We use the identical structure which contains three waveguides, for designing these gates; the only difference however, is the power of inputs light beam. In other words, while a beam with 4 W/μm in power considered as logical one, the output is NAND gate and if a beam w...

متن کاملAll silicon waveguide spherical microcavity coupler device.
A coupler based on silicon spherical microcavities coupled to silicon waveguides for telecom wavelengths is presented. The light scattered by the microcavity is detected and analyzed as a function of the wavelength. The transmittance signal through the waveguide is strongly attenuated (up to 25 dB) at wavelengths corresponding to the Mie resonances of the microcavity. The coupling between the m...
