Narrow band coupler based on one-dimensional Bragg reflection waveguide

• A new configuration based on the coupling between a conventional low loss, weakly guiding channel waveguide and a Bragg reflection waveguide (BRW) was discussed. The strong difference between the dispersion of a Bragg reflection waveguide and a channel waveguide was used to create a narrow band coupler. The two-dimensional analysis of the BRW was generally based on the transfer matrix method. The structure consisted of a weakly guiding conventional Ge-doped silica waveguide on the top of which a BRW was stacked. The number of periods in the mirror between the BRW and the silica waveguide affected the coupling length and ultimately the bandwidth.
