Only one mode propagates if V, in this case it is called a single mode guide.įind the maximum waveguide core thickness d for a device with n 1 =1.48 and n 2 = 1.46 and a wavelength of 1 μ m to achieve single mode propagation. the waveguide including propagation constant, cutoff wavenumber, cutoff. The number of guided modes in a step-index guide (N) is given by MHz wave to propagate inside the waveguide, the cutoff frequency must be lower then the mode of propagation. If you decrease the thickness you decrease the number of modes that can propagate. Some transverse mode profiles 2 If the waveguide cross-section is rectangular, different transverse mode orders need to support a different number of half-wavelengths in the plane. Thus the mode shift depends on the relative index of refraction of the materials and the thickness of the waveguide. Waveguides can support different transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes 1. V is the normalized film thickness, normalized frequency, or V parameter We write the phase change resulting from reflection simply as δ(θ)įor perpendicular radiation φ (θ) is 2 ψ, for parallel radiation φ(θ) = 2 δ. the phase change due to reflection at B and C It also requires very specific angles θ above the critical angle.Ĭonsider the phase difference between A and C Non-Silica Fiber Splicing Planar Waveguide Coupling Fiber Tails for High NA. Otherwise there would be destructive interference between out-of-phase waves and the light will not propagate. Frequency is lower than the cutoff frequency and is real.
Therefore the phase at C and A must be the same or differ by a multiple of 2π. is the wavelength of a plane wave in an unbounded medium given by. The wavefront FC intersects tow the upwardly traveling portions of the same ray at points A and C.
