A mirror-in-slab waveguide is fabricated on a slab waveguide by using the refractive-index contrast between two materials, with the reflection performance depending on the slab waveguide's design. In this research, a slab waveguide design consisting of silicon (Si) as the core and SiO2 as the substrate was designed and developed to determine the coupling, waveguide, and mirror losses. Based on experimental results, coupling loss is dominant and is affected by the design of the slab waveguide. Furthermore, the mirror loss is affected by the design of the mirror, such as the curvature radius and the size of the mirror. TE and TM polarizations of light are used in the measurements. The experimental results show that mirror losses due to reflection by mirrors are 0.011 dB/mirror and 0.007 dB/mirror for TE and TM polarizations respectively. A simulation was performed to confirm whether the size of mirror is sufficient to reflect the input light, and to check the quality of the surfaces of fabricated mirrors.

In this paper. we present a method for a systematic design of a dielectric slab polarizer in the circular waveguide. This structure is realized using a tapered dielectric slab inside a circular waveguide. Commercial software is used to obtain the equivalent dielectric constant of the circular waveguide partially filled with a dielectric slab. The length of the tapered region is determined so that the reflection from the dielectric slab is sufficiently low. A polarizer operating at 10 GHz band is designed, fabricated and tested.

Silica slab wavegudie was fabricated on Si substrates by FHD for planar optical passive devices. The slab waveguide consists of lower clad and core layers, where core layer index is controlled by GeO2 addition. Doping of GeO2 in silica is difficult because of the low deposition density due to nonspherical particle generation in FHD process. Silica core particles deposited at various conditions such as flame temperature and substrate scanning were analyzed by SEM and TEM. As the flame temperature increased, the surface roughness of the core layer was decreased up to 3.6 nm after consolidation. Index difference and thickness of core of slab waveguide were 0.3%, 8$\mu\textrm{m}$ respectively. Measured optical loss at TE mode was <0.04 dB/cm at 1.3$\mu\textrm{m}$ and <0.06 dB/cm at 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$.

We demonstrate two types of light field displays based on waveguide grating coupler arrays: a line beam type and a point source type. Ultra violet imprinting of an array of diffractive nanograting cells on the top surface of a 50-㎛-thin slab waveguide can deliver a line beam or a point beam to a multidirectional light field out of the waveguide slab. By controlling the grating vectors of the nanograting cells, the waveguide modes are externally coupled to specific viewing angles to create a multidirectional light field display. Nanograting cells with periods of 300 nm-518 nm and slanted angles of -8.5°~+8.5° are fabricated by two-beam interference lithography on a 40 mm × 40 mm slab waveguide for seven different viewpoints. It is expected that it will be possible to realize a very thin and flexible panel that shows multidirectional light field images through the waveguide-type diffraction display.

Generally, the waveguide phase-shifter has been analyzed by the modal expansion method. We can not apply this method in the case which is difficult to choose a nenerating function. In this paper, we are analyzed the rectangular waveguide phase shifter using the perturbation method. When the depth of dielectric slab is smaller then one half of the waveguide height, the experimental results are well agreed with the calculated values by this method.

In dielectric waveguide analysis and synthesis, we often encounter an awkward task of solving the eigenvalue equation to find the value of propagation constant. Since the dispersion equation is an irrational equation, we cannot solve it directly. Taking advantage of approximated calculation, we attempt here to solve this irrational dispersion equation. A new type of eigenvalue equation, in which guide index is expressed as a function of frequency, has been developed. In practical optical waveguide designing and in calculating the propagation mode, this equation will be used more conveniently than the previous one. To expedite the design of the waveguide, we then solve the eigenvalue equation of a slab waveguide, which is sufficiently accurate for practical purpose.

In this study, the slab waveguide was fabricated using potassium-nitride(KNO$_3$) or silver-nitride (AgNO$_3$) molten sources by ion-exchange process. The effective refractive indices of waveguide were measured by Prism-Coupling method. and The characteristics of waveguide(mode dispersion, effective diffusion depth. surface refractive index, diffusion coefficient, and refractive index profile etc,) were investigated by WKB method, In the case of potassium ion-exchange, the computer calculation showed that the refractive index profile of waveguide followed Gaussian function, the surface refractive index increased with ion-exchange time and the effective diffusion depth increased a little as ion-exchange time increased, while the surface refractive index of silver ion-exchanged waveguide decreased with ion-exchange time because of the ion depletion on the surface of waveguide, and the effective diffusion depth seriously with ion-exchange tim. Double ion-exchanged waveguide was fabricated by performing silver ion-exchange after potassium ion-exchange. Double ion-exchanged waveguide had a tight mode binding force since the surface refractive index was larger than single step ion-exchanged waveguide.

We have developed the radio frequency excited slab waveguide $CO_2$ laser, The dimension of active area is $2{\times}40{\times}400$ mm to get a laser gain. Two pieces of concave mirror are used to make the unstable resonator of negative branch. The radio frequency is 123 MHz and RF input power is from 100 to 900 W. The laser gas is set to a pressure of 10 ∼ 60 torr and the mixing ration is $CO_2$:$N_2$:He=1:1:3. The laser output power of 50.9 W was obtained with laser power to RF power efficiency of 6.5 %.

Buried channel waveguides의 필드 분포에 대한 analytic 표현식을 effective index method (EIM), variational method(VM)와 각각의 방향으로의 경계조건을 적용한 variational method (VM_vec)를 사용하여 구한 뒤 angular spectrum 방법을 적용하여 도파로 폭에 따른 단면 반사율을 계산하고 이를 비교 검토하였다. 도파로 폭이 커질수록 buried channel waveguides의 단면 반사율은 slab 도파로의 단면 반사율에 접근하였고 도파로 폭이 작아질수록 slab 도파로의 단면 반사율로부터 quasi-TE 모드의 단면 반사율은 감소하였고 quasi-TM 모드의 단면 반사율은 증가하였다. 도파로 폭에 따른 단면 반사율 변화량은 quasi-TM 모드보다 quasi-TE 모드에 대한 변화량이 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. Aspect ratio가 1일 때 VM과 VM_vec으로 구한 quasi-TE 모드와 quasi-TM 모드와 quasi-TM 모드의 반사율은 차이가 크게 나타났다. Quasi-TE 모드의 경우는 VM_vec으로 구한 필드 분포에 angular spectrum 방법을 적용하여 계산한 단면 반사율이 EIM으로 구한 반사율보다 정확한 값임을 알 수 있었고 quasi-TM 모드의 경우는 각 방법으로 구한 반사율이 거의 같음을 볼 수 있었다.

평행판 도파관에 진행하는 TEM mode를 이용한 평판형 유전체의 유전율을 측정하는 방식을 소개한다. 이는 양 옆이 열린 구조적 장점으로 실험 절차 및 측정 샘플의 가공이 매우 간편한 장점이 있다. 샘플의 유무에 따라 변화하는 도파관 내에서 전파하는 TEM mode의 위상 속도의 차이를 전자기적으로 해석하였고 이를 이용하여 유전체판의 유전율을 측정하였으며, 샘플에 대한 측정 결과는 기존에 알려진 유전율과 일치하였다.
