Abstract
The effects of dispersion on the performance of finite-length grating- assisted output couplers driven by ultrafast pulses are studied. Two d ifferent FDTD formulations of Lorentz dispersion are treated, and both dispersive waveguides and grating teeth are considered. The impact of dispersion on the output beams is quantified.
