An analytical method with numerical results to be used in the design of optical slab waveguides for optical communication system applications

Abstract

<p>This study develops an analytical method with numerical results for the design of optical slab waveguides for optical communication system applications. An optical slab waveguide structure made of silicon on silicon dioxide material is designed and analyzed. The effective index of the mode is studied against variations in the waveguide dimensions. Transmission and reflection coefficients are studied and compared to the wavelength and dimensions of the waveguide. Variations are sketched with the x-axis, in addition to the electric field intensity distribution and effective refractive index. Waveguide bending loss is also studied with waveguide thickness and length variations within three waveguide transmission windows of 850 nm, 1300 nm, and 1550 nm.</p>

High sensitivity sapphire FBG temperature sensors for the signal processing of data communications technology

“…Sapphire FBG is used as a temperature sensors up to 1600 0 C [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The Bragg wavelength with the grating period and effective fiber index is [7,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] Temperature and strain induced Bragg wavelength shifted shown as [15,[34][35][36][37][38]:…”

Optimization of photonic crystal structure by FDTD method to improve the light extraction efficiency in silicon

“…Commonly, there is three main wavelengths used for optical communication system are 850 nm, 1300 nm and 1550 nm. [8] , [9] , [10] Divers study have stated that the wavelength having the lowest attenuation and reduce the loss of signal strength during transmission of the light. [9] Quantum confinement structures give rise to discrete energy levels that can help overcome the bandgap issue of silicon.…”
