New waveguide gratings are designed to reflect specific light symmetries. This approach offers higher reflectivity and selectivity, enabling more compact and efficient wavelength add/drop devices.

Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Waveguide Optics
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Standard waveguide gratings are used in optical devices.
  • Designing gratings for specific applications can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and demonstrate the concept of symmetry-selective gratings.
  • To enable the design of more effective and compact wavelength add/drop devices.

Main Methods:

  • Replacing full-core gratings with partial-core gratings.
  • Designing gratings to selectively reflect modes based on symmetry.

Main Results:

  • Symmetry-selective gratings exhibit high-order reflectivity.
  • These gratings show enhanced selectivity compared to standard gratings.
