Full-Vectorial Wave Propagation in Semiconductor Optical Bending Waveguides and Equivalent Straight Waveguide Approximations

Abstract

Device characteristics of optical polarization rotators are founded upon the vector properties of the Maxwell Equations. Recently, a bending waveguide based polarization rotator has been proposed and demonstrated. To provide a rigorous basis for the analysis and design of this polarization rotator, the full-vectorial wave equations for both {\vec{E}}- and {\vec{H}}-field in bending waveguides are derived. It is found from these wave equations that under a broad range of circumstances, a bending waveguide can be analyzed using the equivalent straight waveguide approximation. Details of the model for optical polarization rotators, which is based on the coupled-mode theory, will be described in a companion paper.
