Graded-index planar waveguide solar concentrator.
Planar waveguides are useful to transport, concentrate and distribute light uniformly over large dimensions. Their capacity to collect and gather light efficiently over a large distance is interesting for many applications, like backlighting and solar concentration. For these reasons, the possibility of making them even more efficient could be of considerable interest for the community. The obs...
متن کاملOptimal waveguide dimensions for nonlinear interactions.
We investigate strong light confinement in high core-cladding index contrast waveguides with dimensions comparable to and smaller than the wavelength of incident light. We consider oval and rectangular cross sections and demonstrate that an optimal core size exists that maximizes the effective nonlinearity. We also determine that waveguides with asymmetrical cross sections provide the maximum p...
متن کاملPumping Planar Waveguide Amplifiers Using a Coupled Waveguide System
A novel scheme is presented that can be used to efficiently pump optical waveguide amplifiers. It is based on the coupling between two adjacent waveguides, where pump light is gradually coupled from a nonabsorbing pump waveguide into the amplifier waveguide. The coupling between the waveguides in such a configuration is calculated using an improved coupled mode theory (CMT). The proposed distri...
متن کاملEr:YGG Planar Waveguide Amplifiers for LIDAR Applications
Er:YGG is a promising candidate for greenhouse-gas LIDAR due to fortuitous transitions around key absorption lines of carbon-dioxide and methane. We present growth of crystal films by pulsed-laser-deposition, their spectroscopy and initial characterization as amplifiers. OCIS codes: (310.0310) Thin films; (220.4610) Optical fabrication; (230.7390) Waveguides, planar; (130.0130) Laser materials;...
متن کاملLayout Optimization for Erbium-Doped Waveguide Amplifiers
The optical layout of erbium-doped waveguide amplifiers (EDWAs) based on spiral and folded spiral planar lightwave circuits is considered. It is shown that layouts may be ranked according to their ability to provide maximum gain within a given chip area and an optimum layout based on a spiral containing both straight and curved waveguide sections is identified from an initial set. The analysis ...
