A numerical approach based on the finite element -artificial transmitting boundary method is newly formulated for suppressing the sidelobe of integrated acousto-optic tunable filters with weighted coupling on a piezoelectric substrate.We use cosine and Gaussian weighting functions and obtained relevant response curves of TE-TM mode conversion efficiency. The result shows that the sidelobe can be efficiently suppressed by transforming the weighting function.Conversion of Gaussian weighting function is better than the one of cosine weighting function. The result is agreed with other references.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
