Characteristics of hybrid modes in proton-exchanged lithium niobate waveguides

Abstract:
A rigorous numerical model, verified by experimental results, gives an explanation of the particular electromagnetic behaviors observed in x-cut proton-exchanged lithium niobate waveguides. This approach, which allows an exact calculation of the weights of the coupled ordinary and extraordinarywaves that make up the hybrid modes, provides deeper insight into the study of the strains induced by the proton-exchange process in the waveguide itself, showing that the optical axis of the exchanged layer is not parallel to the waveguide plane.

01:28Standing Waves in a Cavity
A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:
03:24Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I
The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...
01:07Propagation of Waves
When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
