Optimal control theory for optical waveguide design: application to Y-branch structures
An optical control theory (OCT) method developed specifically to aid in designing waveguide devices is applied to Y-branch waveguides and Mach-Zehnder modulators. It was determined that the OCT method can indeed be applied to realistic branching waveguides. The OCT method can address arbitrary struc...

| Sumario: | An optical control theory (OCT) method developed specifically to aid in designing waveguide devices is applied to Y-branch waveguides and Mach-Zehnder modulators. It was determined that the OCT method can indeed be applied to realistic branching waveguides. The OCT method can address arbitrary structural and refractive-index variations in branching waveguide devices, provided it is implemented within the paraxial equation framework. It was also found that the OCT method can considerably enhance Y-branch waveguides and Mach-Zehnder devices' guiding performance. © 1999 Optical Society of America |
