Abstract
A novel integrated-optical mode stripper configuration is proposed and analyzed numerically by the BPM. Its operation is based on the coupli ng of all higher order modes into regions with higher refractive index adjacent to the optical waveguide. It is shown that a high transmissi on of the fundamental mode and a high suppression of higher order mode s can be realized at lambda = 1.3 mu m and lambda = 1.5 mu m.
