Abstract

A novel optical coupling filter with finite-thickness metal-strip gratings printed on optical planar dielectric slabs is proposed, and Bragg conditions of the device are rigorously evaluated by using Modal Transmission-Line Theory (MTLT). The numerical results reveal that the guiding structures have filtering properties due to a leaky-wave stop-band while conventional DFB guiding structures consisted of dielectric gratings depend on a feedback-wave stop-band. Consequently, it shows that the optical coupling titter dependent on the leaky-wave filtering characteristics can be compounded of such optical devices as LD and optical fiber.

광 평면 유전체 기판 위에 형성된 금속격자구조의 누설특성을 이용한 새로운 광 결합용 필터를 제안하였고, Bragg 조건들을 모드 전송선로 이론을 사용하여 정확하게 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 유전체격자구조로 구성된 기존의 DFB는 전송 모드들의 피드백특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하지만 금속격자구조는 누설파특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 결국, 누설파 필터특성을 적용한 광 결합용 필터는 LD나 광섬유와 같은 광통신용 소자들과 집적이 가능함을 보였다.
