Description
方向性結合器の結合率に偏波依存性が存在するためである。TE偏波とTM偏波の差分であるPDT(Polarization Dependent Transmittance)は、この波長帯域にわたっておよそ0.1dBの偏波依存性が存在する。
図4に、第1の実施形態にかかるWINCの構成を示す。図4(a)に全体構成を示し、図4(b)に方向性結合器の拡大図を示す。WINC20は、2つの方向性結合器21,22の間に2本のアーム導波路23,24を有するマッハツェンダ干渉計により構成されている。アーム導波路23(長アーム)とアーム導波路24(短アーム)との間に光路長差ΔLが設けられている。方向性結合器21,22は非対称方向性結合器であり、結合部における2本の導波路幅が異なっている。図4(b)に示すように、長アームを構成するアーム導波路23の側の導波路幅をW1、短アームを構成するアーム導波路24の側の導波路幅をW2としている。
方向性結合器の一本の入力導波路に入射した光信号が、他方の導波路に100%結合する結合部の長さを完全結合長LCとしたとき、
なる関係を有する。
となって、δによって変化する。
図5に、第2の実施形態にかかるWINCの構成を示す。図5(a)に全体構成を示し、図5(b)に方向性結合器の拡大図を示す。WINC30は、2つの方向性結合器31,32の間に2本のアーム導波路33,34を有するマッハツェンダ干渉計により構成されている。アーム導波路33(長アーム)とアーム導波路34(短アーム)との間に光路長差ΔLが設けられている。さらに、アーム導波路33の一部分が、2本のアームの導波路の幅Wよりも太い導波路幅WBを有している。方向性結合器31,32は、第1の実施形態と同様に、非対称方向性結合器であり、それぞれ長アーム側の導波路幅をW1、短アーム側の導波路幅をW2としている。
