That the ridge-type Ti:LiNbO 3 Y-junction waveguide is a better optical splitter than the conventional Ti-diffused one is demonstrated by beam propagation method involving the Runge-Kutta algorithm. Also, our simulation shows that some spatially-discrete radiation modes appear within the gap between the both arms made of the ridge structures due to the Fabry-Perot resonance effect.
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.
