In this paper, scattering matrix for the open ended rectangular waveguide with infinite flange is derived. To validate the scattering matrix approach, load admittance $Y_{L,10}$ obtained from the present scattering matrix method is compared with the results of the previous work. The convergence for scattering matrix solution versus TE and TM mode numbers is investigated. Also far field power pattern radiated from the aperture of the waveguide is given.

Recently, with the rapid development of the waveguide division multiplexing (WDM) systems for large capacity and flexibility of information network, the broad band 1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ erbium-doped waveguide amplifier (EDWA) become important. The main factors affecting the performance of sol-gel-based waveguides are non-radiative relaxation channels due to rare-earth concentration quenching and to vibration of the OH groups Therefore, the sol-gel process has to be carefully controlled in order to minimize the residual OH content.

The wavelength selectivity in grating-assisted optical waveguide couplers is studied using a matrix method to analyse optical filter characteristics. The matrix method is extended to both 2-system modes and all guided system modes. The influence of fundamental design parameters on the performances of the optical filters by waveguide couplers is discussed.

We report the design and basic operating characteristics of an radio frequency excited waveguide $CO_2$ laser. Four picecs of waveguide channels are placed in one laser cavity to increase a power per unit length with the form of a 2 ${\times}$ 2 matrix. Four independent optical outputs are measured from the front of output coupler, and these beams are combined to a Gaussian mode beam far from the output coupler. A 12 W output power has been obtained with $CO_2$ : $N_2$ : He : Xe = 1 : 1 : 3 : 0.2 of the gas mixture and 200 W of radio frequency.

The design procedure of a GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor matrix optical switch is presented for a simplified tree architecture in the viewpoint of optical loss. A low loss, 0.537 dB/cm, pin type substrate is designed by considering the loss due to imputity doping at 1.3 $\mu$m wavelength. The operating voltage and the device length of a reversed ${\Delta}{\beta}$ electro-optic directional coupler(EODC) swith which is a cross-point device of the 4${\times}$4 matrix optical switch and the bending loss of rib waveguide are caculated as functions of waveguide parameters and bending parameters. There is an optimum bending radius for some waveguide parameters. It is recommened that higher optical confinement conditions such as wide waveguide width and higher rib-height should be chosen for structural parameters of a low loss and a process insensitive 4${\times}$4 matris optical switch. A 4${\times}$4 optical matrix switch which has a 3 dB loss and a 12 volt operating voltage is designed.

In this paper, new algorithm which calculates transmission coefficient of electromagnetic wave by numerical analysis of scattered field by conductors with arbitrary cross-sections in parallel-plate waveguide is proposed. Proposed algorithm assumes magnetic current distribution on the boundary of scattering conductors, and applies Image theorem to perfect conductor surfaces of parallel-plate waveguide. Integral equations for fictitious magnetic currents on conducting boundary are set up. Magnetic current distributions on conducting boundary are expanded as exponential basis function, and using Galerkin method matrix equations are set wp. To compute matrix elements this method utilizes Fourier transform which is faster than numerical integration. Finally, frequency and incidence-angle characteristic of transmission coefficient are calculated and compared with experimental results.

Herein, we design a wideband $8{\times}8$ waveguide Butler matrix in order to use in a multi-port amplifiers(MPAs) at Ka-band. To achieve the broadband characteristic, we design a binomial 6-slot 3 dB directional coupler which is used to configure the $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix. The measured results of the fabricated $8{\times}8$ Butler matrix have low insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB, good return loss of over 26 dB and high isolation of over 35 dB within the design bandwidth of 3 GHz.

In this paper, we present a simple method for characterizing a rectangular waveguide to circular waveguide transition Three standard loads consisting of a short circuit, an offset short circuit 1, and an offset short circuit 2 are sequentially connected to the circular waveguide port and the reflection coefficient at port 1 Is measured for each case. From known reflection coefficients, of standard loads and measured reflection coefficients, the scattering matrix of the transition Is obtained. The proposed method Is verified by the numerical experiment using a commercial software HFSS and by measurments of a actual rectangular-to-circular waveguide transition.

We have studied the effects of interface on polarization dependence of waveguide and designed the polarization independent 2-dimensional waveguides on InP for arrayed waveguide grating. To figure out the effects of interface on polarization dependence, we have solved the 1-dimensional wave equation using a transfer matrix method. It is shown that the birefringence becomes stronger as the number of interfaces increases. In order to design polarization independent 2-dimensional waveguides, we have used effective index method. The structures considered are ridge type, raised strip type, and buried type waveguide. In the cases of ridge and raised strip type, conventional effective index method was used. In the case of buried type corrected effective index method was used. We have determined the height and width of waveguides such that the waveguides become polarization independent.
