Abstract:

Corrugated waveguides and lasers in resonant and non-resonant situations are analyzed by an improved coupled mode theory based on a set of the coupled mode equations for guided modes and radiation continuum. The distributed feedback (DFB) coefficient and the radiation loss coefficient are given in closed forms. The formulation can be applicable to arbitrarily shaped gratings and multilayer waveguide structures. The accuracy of the theory is examined by comparing it with Tamir's exact calculation for a nonresonant situation and also with Streifer's one for a DFB structure. Reasonable accuracy is obtained by the proper choice of the unperturbed waveguide parameter. The dependence of the two coefficients on the grating depth, the grating period, the guide layer thickness, and the refractive index difference between core and cladding layers is obtained for all Bragg orders up to the fourth, and for four typical grating shapes, namely, for rectangular, sinusoidal, symmetric triangular, and sawtooth gratings. Both the threshold gain of DFB lasers utilizing higher order Bragg reflection and the output coupling efficiency of grating beam couplers are also calculated for these parameters. A new multilayer structure for controlling the radiation loss is proposed and analyzed. This structure is suitable for the suppression of the radiation loss in DBR reflectors as well as for the improvement of the output coupling efficiency in grating beam couplers.
