TL;DR: An optimized structure of the polymeric Mach-Zehnder rib waveguide is derived from optical waveguide modeling Techniques and shows good agreement with the reported ones derived from experiments.
Abstract: In this paper an optimized structure of the polymeric Mach-Zehnder rib waveguide is derived from optical waveguide modeling Techniques. The simulation is carried out by employing the effective index method (EIM) and two-dimensional finite difference beam propagation method (2D-FD-BPM). The precision of the calculation is ensured by applying the EIM to reduce the large refractive index step between consecutive polymer layers. Important parameters of the waveguide and their relationships with the optical power transmission are investigated. The power loss of the optimized waveguide is /spl sim/0.26 dB. The optimized structural parameters show good agreement with the reported ones derived from experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the state-of-the-art in the field of optical integrated devices and circuits and discuss the trends, guided by applicative goals, not only from the theoretical point of view but also from a practical one.
Abstract: The notorious implication of integrated optics in the nowadays communication systems makes more interesting the development of optical integrated devices and circuits. The evolution of the communication systems was sustained by the integrated optics and it is obvious that the actual interests in the optical communications are also transferred and adapted to integrated optics. The presentation of actual state-of-the-art in this field is a good opportunity both for an evaluation on the above mentioned evolution and for discerning the actual trends and their perspectives. These trends, guided by applicative goals, have to be discussed not only from the theoretical point of view but also from a practical one.
