Abstract

The polarization characteristics of nano-scale grating-assisted polarization-insensitive coupler (GA-PIC) consisted of double sandwiched rib-type layers are evaluated in detail by using modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on equivalent network. To obtain the polarization-insensitive condition of GA-PIC, the coupling lengths as a function of the refractive index and thickness of sandwiched rib-type layer as well as the grating thickness and period are analyzed for quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. The numerical results show that the GA-PIC with hundreds of nanometer scale is realized by properly choosing structural and material parameters of double sandwiched layers and grating.

등가 전송선로에 기초한 모드 전송선로 이론 (Modal Transmission-Line Theory: MTLT)을 이용하여 이중 샌드위치 Rib-형 층으로 구성된 나노 크기의 격자 구조형 편광 무의존성 결합기 (Grating-Assisted Polarization-Insensitive Coupler: GA-PIC)의 편광특성을 자세하게 분석하였다. 제안한 나노 크기의 GA-PIC의 편광 무의존성 조건을 얻기 위하여 샌드위치 rib형 층의 굴절률과 두께에 따라 변하는 quasi-TE 모드와 quasi-TM 모드의 결합길이를 분석하였으며, 격자구조의 광학적 변수들인 격자두께와 격자주기에 따른 결합길이의 영향도 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 수백 나노미터 크기의 GA-PIC는 이중 샌드위치 층과 격자구조의 구조적, 물질적 변수들을 잘 선택함으로써 구현할 수 있음을 보였다.
