Abstract

In order to compare various modelling techniques for the eigenmode analysis of integrated optical waveguides, twelve different methods are applied to the analysis of two typical III-V rib waveguides. Both a single and a coupled waveguide case are considered. Results focus on the effective refractive index value for the lowest order TE-mode in the case of the single waveguide, and on the coupling length between the lowest order symmetric and antisymmetric TE-modes of the coupled waveguides. This paper is the result of the joint effort of thirteen research groups in the framework of the Device Modelling group of the COST-216 project.
