Abstract
The formation of one‐dimensional self‐images in planar optical waveguides is described ray optically and is demonstrated experimentally. The self‐images can be erect or inverted, single or multiple, and magnified or demagnified. Possible applications in integrated optics include a cross over of strip guides, a simple 3‐dB directional coupler, and a filter.Keywords
