Abstract

A flat waveguide for the middle infrared was made by co-extrusion of two silver halide crystals of different chemical compositions. The transmission of the waveguide and its modal behavior was studied using a Fourier Transform Spectrometer and a dedicated optical bench. Analyzing this spectrum, we were able to obtain the cut-off wavelength of the waveguide. We observed a single mode behavior for wavelengths longer than 8.83μm, in good agreement with the theoretically expected values. This novel procedure is ideal for tailoring the properties of the waveguide for specific applications, in particular the spectral range where it exhibits a single-mode behavior. It can thus be applied to achieve modal filtering for mid-IR astronomical interferometers (e.g. beam combiners, nullers, etc.).

The theoretical expected values for the effective refractive indices of the step-index planar waveguide. The upper and lower continuous lines represent the guiding limits (k0ng(λ) and k0ns(λ) respectively). The dashed line is the solution for fundamental mode (m = 0) and the dotted line is the solution for the first order (m = 1). Intersection of the dashed (resp. dotted) line with the lower continuous line gives the upper (resp. lower) wavelength of the single mode range.

The normalized FTS spectra obtained for the signal propagated through the substrate, compared to the signal propagated through the waveguide. A drop in intensity is clearly visible around 9μm, which is the signature of the cut-off wavelength, obtained for a non polarized measurement. Note that the drop in intensity towards 3μm (resp. 13μm) is due to the sensitivity limit of the detector.
