Transfer matrix analysis of the unidirectional grating-assisted codirectional coupler.
The unidirectional grating-assisted codirectional coupler (U-GACC) has recently been proposed. This unique structure permits irreversible coupling between orthogonal waveguide eigenmodes by means of simultaneous modulation of both the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index in the coupling region. Analysis of the U-GACC has until now relied on coupled mode theory, which can be restrict...
متن کاملDistributed grating-assisted coupler for optical all-dielectric electron accelerator
1098-4402= A Bragg waveguide consisting of multiple dielectric layers with alternating index of refraction becomes an excellent option to form electron accelerating structure powered by high power laser sources. It provides confinement of a synchronous speed-of-light mode with extremely low loss. However, laser field cannot be coupled into the structure collinearly with the electron beam. There...
متن کاملAn elastomeric grating coupler
We report on a novel nondestructive and reversible method for coupling free space light to planar optical waveguides. In this method, an elastomeric grating is used to produce an effective refractive index modulation on the surface of the optical waveguide. The external elastomeric grating binds to the surface of the waveguide with van der Waals forces and makes conformal contact without any ap...
متن کاملDesign and Simulation of a Highly Sensitive Refractive Index Sensor based on Grating-assisted Strip Waveguide Directional Coupler
A highly sensitive refractive index sensor based on grating-assisted strip waveguide directional coupler is proposed. The sensor is designed using two coupled asymmetric strip waveguides with a top-loaded grating structure in one of the waveguides. Maximum light couples from one waveguide to the other at the resonance wavelength, and the change in resonance wavelength with the change in refract...
متن کاملFrequency Response and Tunability of Grating- Assisted Directional Couplers
The spectral properties of grating-assisted directional couplers are studied using an improved coupled mode formulation. Key parameters for the design of these structures, such as the grating period, the coupling length, and other structural parameters, are calculated. The frequency response, the filter bandwidth, and the tuning range are analyzed. The technique is used to examine a specific ca...
