We report a simple but effective experimental technique by utilizing standard off-the-shelf optical fiber cut-off measurement equipment for measuring the second order mode cut-off of channel waveguide in LiNbO3. The scheme applies multimode excitation of channel waveguide and cut-off wavelength is calculated by comparing guided optical power with respect to modal power in the reference multimode fiber. Typical channel waveguide designs at 1310 and 1550 nm windows are used for experimentation and simulations. Simulations are performed using Optiwave BPM CAD software and the experimental results match well with simulations.
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.
