Abstract:
We investigated the dispersion characteristics of submicron sized AlGaAs waveguides. Numerical simulations shows that the tight confinement of the optical waves in such nanowires leads to strong variations of the dispersion characteristics compared to classic, weakly guided waveguides of the same material system. We found numerically that the investigated structure has negative GVD for the TE mode provided the waveguide width is between 670 nm and 280 nm. Experimental data obtained from 300 mum - 1 mm long wires confirms the numerical results.
