Journal ArticleDOI
Full-vector waveguide modeling using an iterative finite-difference method with transparent boundary conditions
G.R. Hadley,R.E. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: This work describes a finite difference solution technique for the full-vector waveguide equation based upon the alternating-direction-implicit (ADI) iterative method that accurately treats dielectric boundaries, requires minimal computer resources, and executes faster than other iterative approaches.

Tapered rib fiber coupler for semiconductor optical devices
Gregory A. Vawter,R.E. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a monolithic tapered rib waveguide is integrated into the guiding rib atop a cutoff mesa type semiconductor device such as an expanded mode optical modulator or and expanded mode laser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarization-sensitive subwavelength antireflection surfaces on a semiconductor for 975 nm
TL;DR: The results of subwavelength antireflection surfaces etched into GaAs for use at 975 nm comprise linear gratings with periods less than the wavelength of light in GaAs that appear as a homogeneous birefringent film.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-efficiency subwavelength diffractive optical element in GaAs for 975 nm
TL;DR: Subwavelength diffractive optical elements with binary phase profiles for operation at 975 nm with blazed transmission gratings designed with rigorous coupled-wave analysis and fabricated by direct-write electron-beam lithography and reactive ion-beam etching in GaAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced coupling loss using a tapered-rib adiabatic-following fiber coupler
R.E. Smith,Charles T. Sullivan,Gregory A. Vawter,G.R. Hadley,Joel R. Wendt,M.B. Snipes,John F. Klem +6 more
TL;DR: A tapered-rib adiabatic-following fiber coupler (TRAFFIC) was proposed in this paper to increase the coupling efficiency of conventional optical fibers to tightly-confined semiconductor rib waveguide devices.
