Abstract

The COST (European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research) project 216 consists in studying the technology and characterization of advanced devices for optical switching and routing. Within the working group 'Device Modelling' attention is focused on the modelling of optical waveguide switches. As a first effort the group compared various modelling techniques for integrated optical waveguides by analyzing a single rib and two coupled rib III-V waveguides. The numerical results give the effective refractive index value for the fundamental quasi TE-mode in the case of the single waveguide and the coupling length between the (lowest-order) symmetric and antisymmetric quasi-TE mode of the coupled waveguides. Some conclusions are formulated with respect to the comparison of the obtained numerical data.
