Abstract

The guided-wave wavelength-division demultiplexers have potential applications in optical communication systems and sensors. They have been realized by using grating,¹ directional coupler (DC),² resonator,³ or Y-junction devices.⁴ In this paper we report the modeling of a DC for dual-wavelength demultiplexing in graded-index ion-exchanged channel waveguides in glass using normal-mode analysis.
