Broadband and robust optical waveguide devices using coherent tunnelling adiabatic passage

Opt Express. 2012 Oct 8;20(21):23108-16. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.023108.

Abstract

We numerically demonstrate an optical waveguide structure for the coherent tunnelling adiabatic passage of photons. An alternative coupling scheme is used compared to earlier work. We show that a three rib optical waveguide structure is robust to material loss in the intermediate waveguide and variations to the waveguide parameters. We also present a five rib optical waveguide structure that represents a new class of octave spanning power divider.
