Abstract

A theoretical presentation of evanescent coupling is offered with respect to the refractive indexes between a side polished optical fiber and an infinitely planar waveguide with a conductor cladding(PWGCC). The PWG is suspended at a constant distance from an unclad fiber core and attached with the perfect conductor(PEC) on one side. The behavior of the distributed coupler is examined using a coupled mode model, which takes account of the two dimensions of the waveguide configuration. The coupling and propagation of light were found to depend on both the relationship between the refractive index values of each structure and the configuration of the side polished fiber used in the PWGCC. The spreading of light in the unconfined direction of the PWGCC is described in terms of a simple geometrical interpretation of the synchromization condition that is in agreement with a previous investigation of the problem based on the coupled-mode theory(CMT). The power of the light propagation in the fiber decreased exponentially along the fiber axis as it was transferred to the PWGCC.

완전도체면 아래의 유전체와 측면 연마된 광섬유의 소산장 결합 및 전파특성에 대한 해석 연구 결과를 나타내었다. 두 구조에서의 전파특성과 소산장 결합 관계를 해석하기 위해 결합모드 방정식과 혼합 모드(compound-mode) 방정식을 이용하여 코아와 유전체의 굴절률 및 구조의 각 변수에 대한 특성을 나타내었다. 그리고 측면 연마된 광섬유와 완전도체면 아래의 유전체가 결합할 때 일어나는 광섬유에서의 감쇠현상을 비교하기 위하여 감쇠상수를 구하여 함께 비교하였다.
