Synthesis and analysis of planar optical waveguides with prescribed TM modes

Abstract

An inverse-scattering approach to designing optical waveguides with prescribed propagation characteristics of TM modes is presented. The refractive-index profile of the waveguide is formulated as a solution to a nonlinear differential equation whose forcing function is the potential obtained from the application of inverse-scattering theory. This method can reconstruct smooth refractive-index profiles for planar waveguides that support single modes or multimode. The cases of both zero and nonzero reflection coefficients characterizing the transmission properties of waveguides are discussed. A direct analysis technique based on a finite-difference scheme has been formulated to verify the results obtained by the inverse-scattering method, and the two approaches are in excellent agreement.
