Waveguide bends and devices including waveguide bends
摘要:
Waveguide bends are specially designed according to a matching condition in order to suppress mode distortion and other undesirable effects. The bend is structured having regard to its length and curvature to ensure that at its end the first and second bend modes are substantially in phase with each other having completed approximately an integer number of beats. By being in phase at the end of the bend, the two modes are able to properly reconstruct the first mode of the straight waveguide and propagate on with a minimum of distortion, whether it be into a straight section, a further curved section of arbitrary curvature, into a free space propagation region and the like. This approach suppresses mode distortion, transition losses and other negative effects of waveguide bends. Device applications include couplers, Y-branches and Mach-Zehnder interferometers, all of which include waveguide bends.
