Abstract

This paper first takes advantage of a rigorous modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) to analyze the filtering properties of optical waves guiding by grating-assisted fiber couplers (GAFCs). The numerical results reveal that MTLT serves as a suitable and powerful approach to evaluate systematically the dispersion properties and the characteristics of optical power transfer in GAFCs.
