Analysis and Design of an Ultra Wideband Directional Coupler
Abstract—In this paper, a novel wideband directional coupler using coplanar waveguide multilayer slot-coupled technique is presented and implemented. The coupler uses two coplanar waveguide lines etched on two layers and coupled through an hexagonal slot etched on the common ground plane located between these layers. Firstly, conformal mapping techniques were used to obtain analytic closed-form...
متن کاملAll-optical Switching Structure Using Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Directional Coupler
In this paper, a new all-optical switching structure is proposed and analyzed. Switching is accomplished by embedded Kerr nonlinear rods in the coupling region of a photonic crystal directional coupler. We show that by modifying the supermodes dispersion curves, the switch length can be reduced 22% with respect to similar structures. Finite-Difference TimeDomain and Plane Wave Expansion methods...
متن کاملNovel ultra-short and ultra-broadband polarization beam splitter based on a bent directional coupler.
A novel ultra-short polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on a bent directional coupler is proposed by utilizing the evanescent coupling between two bent optical waveguides with different core widths. For the bent directional coupler, there is a significant phase-mismatch for TE polarization while the phase-matching condition is satisfied for TM polarization. Therefore, the TM polarized light ...
متن کاملSoliton switching in a Kerr coupler with coupling constant dispersion: a variational analysis
Soliton switching in a nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC) with Kerr nonlinearity and coupling constant dispersion (caused by intermodal dispersion between the symmetric and the anti-symmetric modes of the coupler) is studied using the well-known variational method. Switching characteristics are calculated and discussed. It is shown that the switching characteristics of the Kerr coupler for al...
متن کاملSoliton Switching in Fiber Coupler with Periodically Modulated Dispersion, Coupling Constant Dispersion and Cubic Quintic Nonlinearity
In this paper we present the soliton dynamics in a two port fiber nonlinear directional coupler with periodically modulated dispersion and coupling constant dispersion that arose due to the intermodal dispersion between symmetric and antisymmetric modes of the coupler. The fiber material possessed cubic quintic nonlinearity. The influences of the coupling constant dispersion, periodically modul...
