Abstract
Waveguide Bragg grating structures with strong index corrugations are
analyzed by the complex mode-matching method. As the index corrugation increases,
the peak wavelength of the reflection spectrum is shifted towards shorter
wavelength from the conventional Bragg condition due to the energy storage
effect. It is shown that the peak wavelength corresponds to the center of
the stop-band of the Floquet–Bloch mode. An efficient and reliable iterative
method is proposed for design of grating structures with strong corrugations.
