Modelling of the effects of thermal gradients on optical propagation in polymer multimode tapered waveguides in optical backplanes

open access: yes, 2004
Finite difference beam propagation modelling (FD-BPM) calculates the effect of thermal gradients in an optical backplane on the optical field propagation in a polymer multimode linearly tapered waveguide.

Coaxial periodic optical waveguide

open access: yesOptics Express, 2000
Guided modes in a dielectric waveguide structure with a coaxial periodic multi-layer are investigated by using a matrix formula with Bessel functions. We show that guided modes exist in the structure, and that the field is confined in the core which consists of the optically thinner medium. The dispersion curves are discontinuous, so that the modes can

Elimination of the chirp of optical pulses through cascaded nonlinearities in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides

open access: yes, 2010
We propose and demonstrate a novel method for the elimination of arbitrary frequency chirp from short optical pulses. The technique is based on the combination of two cascaded second-order nonlinearities in two individual periodically poled lithium ...
