Radiation induced force between two planar waveguides
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the electromagnetic force exerted on a pair of parallel slab waveguides by the light propagating through them. The dependence of the force on the separation of the slabs is calculated by means of the Maxwell–Stress tensor formalism and its main features are discussed for the different modes of the radiation. Spatially symmetric (antisymmetric) modes give rise to an attractive (repulsive) interaction. Asimptotic behaviours of the force at small and large separation are derived.

Solvation Force of Ellipse-Shaped Molecules Moving in One Dimension and Confined between Two Parallel Planar Walls
The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...
متن کاملCoupled Resonator Optical Waveguides
Properties of the recently introduced family of coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) are reviewed, particularly with reference to CROWs designed as planar waveguides in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs to enhance nonlinear interactions and develop novel all-optical information processing devices. Topics covered include: pulse propagation both in the nondispersive approximation and...
متن کاملEvolution of the Intensity Profile of Cerenkov Second-Harmonic Radiation with Propagation Distance in Planar Waveguides
Using coupled mode theory, we have studied the output intensity profile of Cerenkov second-harmonic radiation from planar waveguides as a function of the propagation distance. In particular, we have obtained the variation of the intensity profile taking into account the effect of prism coupling as well as propagation loss, and have shown that the second-harmonic radiation evolves into a beam-li...
متن کاملBand-dropping via coupled photonic crystal waveguides.
We observe the dropping of electromagnetic waves having a specific frequency or a certain frequency band in two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals. The single frequency is dropped via cavity waveguide coupling. Tunability of the demultiplexing mode can be achieved by modifying the cavity properties. The band-dropping phenomenon is achieved by introducing interaction between an input plana...
متن کاملLarge UV-induced negative index changes in germanium-free nitrogen-doped planar SiO2 waveguides
Introduction: Silicon oxynitride (SiON) offers a higher degree of design freedom in the fabrication of planar optical waveguides, because the refractive index can be varied from 1.45 (SiO2) up to 2.00 (Si3N4). A refractive index contrast of 0.05 allows the fabrication of waveguides with a curvature radius of 1–2mm, which is a factor of 10 smaller than that of conventional Ge-doped SiO2 waveguid...
