Multimode nematicon waveguides.

چکیده
We report on the first (to our knowledge) experimental observation of higher-order modes guided by soliton-induced waveguides in nematic liquid crystals. We find that the nematicon waveguides operate in a bounded power region specific to each guided mode. Below this region, the guided beams diffract; above this region, the mode mixing and coupling give rise to an unstable output.

Multimode Emissions from MEH-PPV Blended with Polystyrene Film Waveguides
In the context of conjugated polymers, especially those of the poly (phenylenevinylene) (PPV) family, which are promising candidates as emission material in light emitting devices such as LEDs, field effect transistors and photovoltaic devices, we have, in the present study, prepared MEH-PPV [Poly [2- methoxy-5-(2’-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylen-evinylene] of low molecular weight and low polydisp...
متن کاملOptical limiting properties of nonlinear multimode waveguides.
An experimental investigation of the transmission of multimode capillary waveguides with a nonlinear absorber in the core shows an enhanced nonlinear absorption relative to the same length of bulk material. The results are consistent with partial mode filling within the cores of the waveguides. This study confirms the promising optical limiting capabilities of multimode nonlinear waveguides and...
متن کاملAnalysis of Multiconductor Quasi-TEM Transmission Lines and Multimode Waveguides
This paper presents an analysis approach of multicondcutor quasi-TEM lines transmission interconnect in a single dielectric region and multimode waveguides using the finite element method (FEM). We illustrate that FEM is suitable and effective as other methods for modeling of interconnecting lines in highspeed digital circuits. We mainly focus on designing of five-conductor transmission lines i...
متن کاملFabrication of Polymeric Multimode Waveguides and Devices in SU-8 Photoresist Using Selective Polymerization
Large cross section multimode waveguides have been realized in SU-8 using selective polymerization. SU-8 is a negative photoresist, which has shown good optical properties and it is mechanically and chemically stable. The fabricated waveguides have very smooth sidewalls and exhibit low optical losses. The fabrication method is simple and potentially very cost effective. N x N and 1 x N multimod...
متن کاملMultimode interference demultiplexers and splitters in metal-insulator-metal waveguides.
Multimode interference (MMI) effect in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides is studied in this paper. Theoretical calculation based on the self-imaging principle and the finite element method (FEM) simulation are used to analyze the effect and further guide the design of plasmonic MMI devices. We show that wavelength-selective routing and splitting with high extinction ratios can be realized ...
