The effect of the specifications of a silicon-on-insulator vertical slot optical waveguide on the sensitivity of homogeneous and surface sensing configurations for TE and TM polarization, respectively, was systematically analyzed using numerical software. The specifications were optimized based on the confinement factor and transmission power of the TE-guided mode distributed in the slot. The waveguide sensitivities of homogeneous and surface sensing were calculated according to the specifications of the optimized slot optical waveguide.

Post-wall waveguide structures have attracted a great deal of attention for micro- and millimeter-wave applications. One of the waveguide’s applications is a slotted waveguide array. In order to design the slotted array, the characteristics of a slot unit alone on the post-wall waveguide should be investigated. In this paper, a method for extracting the S-parameters of a unit slot is proposed. This simple method requires only two kinds of waveguides: waveguides without a slot unit and waveguides with a slot unit. Three kinds of slot units are fabricated, and the extracted results show a high level of agreement with predicted (simulated) results. With this method, the equivalent slot length can also be found.

In this paper, the waveguide slot array antenna which is capable of wide beam steering and dual polarization is designed for an X band synthetic aperture radar. In order to improve the restriction of beam steering range and to remove the butterfly lobes, a typical waveguide slot array antenna has been modified. To implement dual polarization, rod excited waveguide slot elements and ridge waveguide slot elements are alternately arranged. Location of slots, inclination of rod and offset distance of slots are determined on using array characteristic and conductance constant with radiating power on slots. The designed antenna is manufactured and measured with Near-filed measurement method.

This paper describes the characteristics of a one dimensional narrow-wall slotted waveguide array with a single-layer linear-to-circular polarization converter consisting of a dipole array. An external boundary value Problem of one slot and three dipoles, which approximates the mutual coupling between the dipole array and an edge slot extending over three faces of a rectangular waveguide, is formulated and analyzed by the method of moments; design of polarization conversion is conducted for this model as a unit element. If every unit element has perfect circular polarization, grating lobes appear in the array pattern due to the alternating slot angle: these are suppressed in this paper by changing the dipole angle and degrading the axial ratio of the unit element. The validity of the design is confirmed by the measurements. The dipole array has negligible effects upon slot impedance; the polarization conversion for existing narrow-wall slotted arrays is realized by add-on dipole array.

An optimization methodology for designing a dielectric-filled plasmonic slot waveguide is presented. The genetic algorithm combined with a rigorous analysis based on the finite element method is used to optimize a nano-scaled plasmonic slot waveguide to have high mode confinement and a long propagation length, for which the objective function is defined as a figure of merit combining both propagation parameters.

We present an efficient design approach for a plasmonic slot waveguide using a genetic algorithm. The analyzed structure consists of a nanometric slot in a thin metallic film embedded within a dielectric. To achieve high confinement without long propagation length, the thickness and width of the slot are optimally designed in order to optimize the figures of merit including mode confinement and propagation length. The optimized design is based on the finite element method and enhances the guiding and focusing of light power propagation.

Numerical analysis was performed using FIMMWAVE to optimize the specifications of Si₃N₄/SiO₂ slot and ridge-slot optical waveguides based on confinement factor and effective mode area. The optimized specifications were confirmed based on sensitivity in terms of the refractive index of the analyte. The specifications of the slot optical waveguide, i.e., the width of the slot and the width and height of the rails, were optimized to 0.2 ㎛, 0.46 ㎛, and 0.5 ㎛ respectively. When the wavelength was 1.55 ㎛ and the refractive index of the slot was 1.3, the confinement factor and effective mode area of 0.2024 and 2.04 ㎛², respectively, were obtained based on the optimized specifications. The thickness of the ridge and the refractive index of the slot were set to 0.04 ㎛ and 1.1, respectively, to optimize the ridge-slot optical waveguide, and the confinement factor and effective mode area were calculated as 0.1393 and 2.90 ㎛², respectively. When the confinement coefficient and detection degree of the two structures were compared in the range of 1 to 1.3 of the analyte index, it was observed that the confinement coefficient and sensitivity were higher in the ridge-slot optical waveguide in the region with a refractive index less than 1.133, but the reverse situation occurred in the other region. Therefore, in the implementation of the integrated optical biochemical sensor, it is possible to propose a selection criterion for the two parameters depending on the value of the refractive index of the analyte.

본 논문에서는 도파관 슬롯 배열 안테나의 요소로서 구형 도파관 광벽 중심에 위치하고, 비대칭 아이리스에 의해 급전되는 종방향 션트 슬롯을 제안하였다. 아이리스의 기구 치수를 적절히 조절하면 원하는 주파수에서 슬롯을 공진시킬 수 있다. 제안된 슬롯은 넓은 범위의 정규화 공진컨덕턴스, 공진시 도파관 내의 최소 위상변화 등의 장점을 가진다. 부가적으로 제안된 슬롯이 도파관 슬롯 배열에 적용될 때 각 슬롯들이 일직선으로 배치되기 때문에 원치 않는 교차편파 준위를 낮출 수 있다. 부엽준위 -20 dB를 가지는 $8{\times}1$ 중앙 급전 도파관 슬롯 배열 안테나를 설계, 제작한 후 실험하였다. 측정결과들은 시뮬레이션 결과들과 잘 일치하고, 주파수 9.41 GHz에서 부엽준위 -18.13 dB, 교차편파 준위는 -48.85 dB로서 종래의 종방향 슬롯배열안테나에 비해 약 15 dB 정도 개선되었다.

본 논문에서는 CPW(Coplanar waveguide)-to-microstrip right-angled 전이 구조에 대해서 해석하였다. 일반적으로 비대칭적인 CPW-to-microstrip 전이 구조는 불연속점에서 발생한 slot모드로 인해 심각한 공진이 발생한다. 공진 발생을 억제하기 위해서 일반적으로 많이 사용하는 air-bridge는 공진 발생을 근본적으로 제거시키지 못하고, 단지 공진 주파수만 이동시킨다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 공진 발생을 제거하기 위해 offset microstrip을 사용하는 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 불연속점에서 대칭을 유지함으로써 공진 발생 원인을 근본적으로 제거한 구조로 회로의 직접도가 높은 다층 기판에서 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
