We present the theoretical condition and actual numerical design that achieves an optical pulling force in resonator-waveguide systems, where the direction of the force on the resonator is in the opposite direction to the input light in the waveguide. We also show that this pulling force can occur in conjunction with the lateral optical equilibrium effect, such that the resonator is maintained ...

This paper investigates the deformation of the eld transmitted through a square law medium waveguide. We consider the situation where the center of the waveguide randomly oscillates around the optical axis or the radius of the waveguide randomly pulsates. The random perturbations are small, but the waveguide is long, which gives rise to a macroscopic eeect of the inhomogeneities. This eeect is ...

We propose an efficient optical coupler between a submicrometer-sized silicon waveguide on a silicon photonic chip and a multi-micrometer wide polymer waveguide on an optical printed circuit board for interchip optical networks. We show low coupling loss <0.4 dB with high lateral and angular tolerance to misalignment so that coupling can be done by automatic pick-and-place equipments with high ...

We propose a novel ultra-low loss single-mode hollow-core waveguide using subwavelength high-contrast grating (HCG). We analyzed and simulated the propagation loss of the waveguide and show it can be as low as 0.006 dB/m, three orders of magnitude lower than the lowest loss of the state-of-art chip-scale hollow waveguides. This novel HCG hollow-core waveguide design will serve as a basic buildi...

Coaxial waveguides exhibit no dispersion and therefore can serve as an ideal channel for transmission of broadband THz pulses. Implementation of THz coaxial waveguide systems however requires THz beams with radially-polarized distribution. We demonstrate the launching of THz pulses into coaxial waveguides using the effect of THz pulse generation at semiconductor surfaces. We find that the radia...

In this work, we report about optical spectrometry using gold nano-structures printed on a polymer based integrated optical waveguide. The optical waveguide is a single mode buried waveguide, having dimensions of 3x2.2μm. It is made from a combination of photo-polymerizable materials and is fabricated by photolithography on a glass substrate. To sense the electric field inside the waveguide, a ...

Objective: Today, there are various non-invasive techniques available for the determination of blood glucose levels. In this study, the level of blood glucose was determined by developing a new device using near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, glass optical waveguide, and the phenomenon of evanescent waves. Materials and Methods: The body's interstitial fluid has made possible the development of ne...

We describe a novel scheme based on evanescent guided-wave coupling for optically interfacing between conventional fiber-optic and planar photonic crystal devices such as waveguides and resonant cavities. By considering the band structure of bulk photonic crystal slabs, we analyze the k space properties of a linear defect waveguide and establish a set of design rules to ensure efficient evanesc...

Monolithically InP-based photonic integrated circuits, where more than two semiconductor optoelectronic devices are integrated in a single InP substrate, have long history of research and development. Representatives of these InP-based photonic integrated circuits are, electroabsorption modulator integrated distributed feedback laser diodes (DFB LDs) (Kawamura et al., 1987, H. Soda et al., 1990...

Dual M-Z interferometer is the sensitive element of three-component acceleration seismic geophone, while Y branch waveguide is the basic optical components composed of dual M-Z interferometer, so the design of Y branch waveguide directly affects the performance of threecomponent acceleration seismic geophone. Firstly, branch waveguide and S-shaped bent waveguide are introduced, and symmetrical ...
