Abstract

A novel method is presented for determining the group index, intensity enhancement and delay times for waveguide gratings, based on (Rayleigh) scattering observations. This far-field scattering microscopy (FScM) method is compared with the phase shift method and a method that uses the transmission spectrum to quantify the slow wave properties. We find a minimum group velocity of 0.04c and a maximum intensity enhancement of ∼14.5 for a 1000-period grating and a maximum group delay of ∼80 ps for a 2000-period grating. Furthermore, we show that the FScM method can be used for both displaying the intensity distribution of the Bloch resonances and for investigating out of plane losses. Finally, an application is discussed for the slow-wave grating as index sensor able to detect a minimum cladding index change of 10-8, assuming a transmission detection limit of 10-4.

Power balance of the resonator (effective length L, effective cross-section Ar ) with input and output waveguides, and radiative coupling to free space (and substrate). The right traveling energy flux density S 0 + in the input waveguide is partly back reflected (S 0 -) and couples in part to the resonator (flux density Si ) and in part to radiation modes S s1 due to modal mismatch between waveguide mode and resonator mode. Inside the resonator, the net flux density Sr , which is composed of a right traveling flux density Sr + and a left traveling one S r - is assumed to be constant along the cavity (neglecting Ssc ). At the interface to the output waveguide, an output flux density Sout remains after subtracting radiation loss S s2 due to modal mismatch.

Field amplitude (H-field) of the grating resonances at both band edges (resonances I and −I) of a 100-period WGG. In the middle section of the periodic medium (the grating) we see the well known phenomena [8] (studied by overlaying the grating structure with the field-distributions): the field for the first resonance in the air band is concentrated in the grooves (low-index) and for the dielectric band in the teeth (high-index). There is a shift between both field distributions of half a period. At the transition between the grating and the waveguide we observe the same (in phase) field distribution.

Measurements on the 500-period waveguide grating. (a) Transmission spectrum of the WGG. (b) The scatter intensity (Isc ) collected using the NIR camera. (c) Scatter image A is taken from the grating region without cladding at the wavelength in the stopband labeled A in the transmission and scatter graphs (panels (a) and (b), respectively) [Media 2]. A wavelength scaling factor has been used to account for the difference in cladding index, as explained further in the text. Only scattering from the input spot is observed for this wavelength. Image B is taken at the lowest-order resonance wavelength. The smoothed curve in graph B″ shows a single maximum. Images C and D show 2 and 3 intra-cavity maxima, respectively. The frames A to D can be clicked to start a movie (2.67 MB) of the transmission versus an increasing wavelength (6.82MB version).
