planar optical waveguide
1Waveguide (optics) — This page is about waveguides for transmission of optical signals or power. For other types of waveguide, see the disambiguation page Waveguide An optical waveguide is a physical structure that guides electromagnetic waves in the optical spectrum …
2Optical fiber — A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio c …
3Optical add-drop multiplexer — Not to be confused with add drop multiplexer. Optical add drop multiplexer, using a fiber Bragg grating and two circulators. An optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) is a device used in wavelength division multiplexing systems for multiplexing and… …
4Waveguide (electromagnetism) — In electromagnetics and communications engineering, the term waveguide may refer to any linear structure that guides electromagnetic waves. However, the original and most common meaning is a hollow metal pipe used for this purpose.A dielectric… …
5Optical hybrid — A 90° optical hybrid is a six port device that is used for coherent signal demodulation for either homodyne or heterodyne detection. It would mix the incoming signal with the four quadratural states associated with the reference signal in the… …
6Slot-waveguide — A slot waveguide is an optical waveguide that guides strongly confined light in a subwavelength scale low refractive index region by total internal reflection.A slot waveguide consists of two strips or slabs of high refractive index (nH)… …
7Digital planar holography — Planar waveguide Digital Planar Holography (DPH) is a new technology, developed recently, circa 2003, for fabricating miniature components for integrated optics. The essence of the DPH technology is embedding digital holograms, calculated in a… …
8Arrayed waveguide grating — Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. These devices are capable of multiplexing a large number of wavelengths into a single optical fiber, thereby… …
9Reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer — A reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer (ROADM) is a form of optical add drop multiplexer that adds the ability to remotely switch traffic from a WDM system at the wavelength layer. This allows individual wavelengths carrying data channels… …
10Denis Hall — Denis R Hall is a professor of photonics at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh. In 2004 he was awarded the Association of Laser Users award for his contributions to the development of industrial lasers and their applications. Contents 1 Education… …
