Abstract

Using modal transmission-line theory (MTLT), we evaluate the power coupling of optical directional coupler composed by two parallel guiding slabs. The numerical results reveal that maximum power transfer occurs at a novel wavelength λ$_{opt}$, in which the excitation ratio of supermodes at input boundary is equal to each other, and it is generally different from minimum gap λ$_{min}$.in/.
