Review of the basic methods for characterizing integrated-optic waveguides

Abstract This article presents a short review of the various methods of characterizing integrated-optic waveguides. It is intended to acquaint researchers, particularly beginners in this field, with the principles of some of the widely used techniques of characterizing one-dimensional (planar) and two-dimensional (such as channel or rib) waueguides.

Characterization of single-mode graded-index fibers: A new method based on transverse offset splice loss

A method of characterization has been proposed for single-mode graded-index fibers using knowledge of the power transmission coefficient at the splice as a function of transverse offset. The method utilizes an analytical expression for the power transmission coefficient based on a highly accurate variational approximation for the LP01 mode developed earlier. The method accurately predicts the profile shape parameter and the normalized frequency of the fiber. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
