摘要:
The invention relates to optical birefringent waveguides, acousto-optical devices using such optical waveguides and an acoustic waveguide formed in a substrate as well as a manufacturing method therefore. The optical waveguides of the invention exhibit a small birefringent variation with respect to a change of waveguide parameters, if the fundamental mode propagating in the optical waveguide has a propagation constant near to the cut-off condition. The optical waveguide dimensions are typically chosen such that the cut-off wavelength of the waveguide is below 1650 nm for an operating wavelength in the window between 1530 nm and 1565 nm. The acousto-optic mode converter using such optical waveguides have a superior conversion characteristic over the conversion frequency with reduced side lobes. Therefore, using the thin and narrow optical waveguides of the invention, a superior performance of the acousto-optical devices using such an optical waveguide can be obtained.
