Utilizing Shift-or-Shrink Method to Optimize Multisegment Structures of Bent Optical Waveguides

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

The authors utilized a heuristic shift-or-shrink method that is associated with the beam propagation method to design an optimal multisegment bent optical waveguide. By transforming the shape of each segment, the multisegment structure of the bent waveguide can be optimized. In addition to achieving maximal transmission efficiency, only four segments are sufficient to satisfactorily improve the transmission performance. Moreover, the optimal path of each of these multisegment bent waveguides remains similar to each other waveguide's optimal path even though the number of the segments increases.

The value of f(x₁, x₂) at the vertex P4 was assumed to be the extremum. The original searching square is depicted using dashed squares. The new square is depicted as a solid square. (c) Shrink operation. All the new vertices uniformly move toward the center.

Fig. 4 (a) Conventional 2D optical waveguide. The straight-but-oblique section is connected to both upright input and output waveguides with the same width W. The straight-but-oblique section was divided into six (m = 3) segments. (b) C_k and C_6−k (1 ≤ k ≤ 2) move horizontally. Each segment is transformed into a new shape, but the initial width W and original height L/6 are maintained. The dash lines in this subfigure represent the pattern of the initial and conventional 2D optical waveguide.

(e) The transmission efficiencies calculated using the SOS method converges to the same maximum regardless of whether the initial value of h is 3.2 μm (blue dot) or 2.4 μm (green square).
