Large bandwidth mode order converter by differential waveguides. Optics Express, 23(3), 3186-3195.1094-4087https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.23.003186https://hdl.handle.net/11491/1266In this article, we propose a large bandwidth mode-order converter design by dielectric waveguides with equal lengths but different cross-sectional areas. The efficient conversion between even and odd modes is verified by inducing required phase difference between the equal length waveguides of different widths. Y-junctions are composed of both tapered mode splitter and combiner to connect mono-mode waveguide to multi-mode waveguide. The converted mode profiles at the output port show that the device operates successfully at designed wavelengths with wide bandwidth. This study provides a novel technique to implement compact mode order converters and direction selective/sensitive photonic structures. © 2015 Optical Society of America.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[Belirlenecek]Article2333186319510.1364/OE.23.003186N/AQ1
