Scalar diffraction theory approach to estimating multimode-waveguide field-amplitude mode distributions

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We introduce a method to estimate the coupling coefficients of the guided field amplitude and the corresponding angular bandwidth in a multimode slab waveguide. This scalar diffraction theory approach is simpler than the more rigorous electromagnetic treatment and is directly applicable to communications systems that use large (dimensions or numerical aperture) waveguides, as in substrate-mode interconnects. Moreover, this method provides conceptual insight as to a parameter’s effect on the field-amplitude mode distribution and angular bandwidth.
