Index profiles of Ti:LiNbO 3 waveguides can efficiently be reconstructed by measuring the near-field patterns for different waveguide widths. By this, bending losses of curved waveguides can accurately be predicted. The validity of this method is verified by comparing calculated bending losses with those measured for fabricated semicircular waveguides of different bending radius.
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.
