Analysis of Broad- Band Grating Filter Response in Integrated Optics

집적 광학용 광대역 격자 필터의 해석

An analytic solution for the spectral response of linearly-chirped grating filter is derived, which takes the finite physical length of filter into account. In the usual case of broad-band linearly-chirped grating filter the analytic solution is expressed in terms of elementary functions, by approximating asymptotically the involved parabolic cylinder functions over different ranges of its argument. It is also shown that derived results are general enough to include previously-available approximations as particular cases, and that they agree well with the numerical solutions based upon the Runge-Kutta method.

집적 광학에서 응용되는, 주기가 거의 선형으로 변하는 도파로 격자 필터의 파장에 따른 응답을 격자의 길이가 유한함을 고려하여 수식적으로 구하였다. 이 필터가 광대역 필터로서 설계되는 보편적인 경우에 대해서는 관련된 포물주면 함수를 변수의 위상에 따라 점근 근사를 취함으로써 파장에 따른 응답을 간단한 함수들로써 나타냈다. 또한 구한 결파식들이 기존 근사식들을 특별한 경우로 포함하는 일반적인 식임을 보였다. 마지막으로, 수식적인 해에 의한 결과와 RunRe-Kutta 수치 계산법에 의한 정확한 해를 비교하여 서로 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.
