dc.description.abstract | <p> The modeling, design and simulation of optical waveguides and integrated optical triplexer filters are presented. The work includes two subjects. One is application of improved three-point fourth-order finite-difference method and the other is design of triplexer optical filter for fiber-to-the-home passive optical network.</p> <p> The improved three-point fourth-order finite-difference method utilizes special format of one dimensional Helmholtz Equation and adopts generalized Douglas scheme and boundary conditions matching at interface. The modal analysis of dielectric slab waveguides and metal slab waveguides that support Surface Plasmon Plaritons by using this improved fourth-order finite-difference method is compared by using traditional first-order central difference method. The application of using improved three-point fourth-order finite-difference method in modal analysis of optical fiber waveguide is also provided.</p> <p> The modeling, design and simulation of monolithically integrated triplexer optical filter based on silicon wire waveguide are presented in detail. The design of this device facilitates multi-mode interference device (MMI) and arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) device to function as coarse wavelength division multiplexing and dense wavelength division multiplexing respectively. The MMI is used to separate downstream signs for upstream signal and AWG is used to further separate two down-stream signals with different bandwidths required. This design is validated by simulation that shows excellent performance in terms of spectral response as well as insertion loss.</p> | en_US |
