The selected basis functions naturally satisfy the required boundary conditions at infinity so that the boundary truncation is avoided. The paraxial propagation equation is converted into a set of first-order ordinary differential equations, which are solved by means of standard numerical library routines. Besides, the calculation is efficient due to its small resulted matrix. The evolution of the injected field and its normalized power along the propagation distance in an asymmetric slab waveguide and directional coupler are presented, and the solutions are good agreement with those obtained by finite difference BPM, which tests the validity of the present approach.展开更多

Relevant figures of merit are formulated to this end and used to achieve good performance of devices with today＇s materials and to define required improvements in materials characteristics in terms of decreased scattering rates in the Drude model. The general conclusion is that some metal based circuits are feasible with today＇s matals. Frequency selective metal devices will have Q values on the order of only 10-100, and significant improvements of scattering rates or lowering of the imaginary part of e have to be achieved to implement narrowband devices. A photonic ＂Moore＇s law＂ of integration densities is proposed and exemplified.展开更多

In the design, single mode rib waveguidesand multimode interferences (MMIs) are connected by tapered waveguides to reduce the mode coupling loss between thetwo types of waveguides. The average insertion loss of the switches is about -16.9 dB and the excess loss of one is measuredof -1.3 dB. The worst crosstalk is larger than 25 dB. Experimental results indicate that some of the main characteristics ofoptical switches are improved in the modified design, which is according with theoretic analysis. The novel design can beused to improve the characteristics of optical switch matrixes based on 2×2 switch units.展开更多

The energy balance concept and sampling technique were used to simplify the calculation algorithm for the required utility source current and to control the voltage of the energy storage capacitor. The feasibility was verified by using the Pspice simulations and experiments. When the APF mode was used during non-operational period, not only the utilization rate, power factor and power quality could be improved, but also the capacity of energy storage capacitor could sparing. As the results, the advantages of the APF circuit are simplicity of control circuits, low cost, and good transient response.展开更多
