Sh. Jeong et al., Polarisation insensitive deep-ridge vertical-groove DFB waveguide for all-optical switching, ELECTR LETT, 37(23), 2001, pp. 1387-1389
A deep-ridge vertical-groove distributed feedback (DFB) waveguide has been
fabricated. Structural birefringence of the fabricated device was completel
y eliminated by controlling waveguide width. Additionally, polarisation ind
ependence of the grating coupling coefficient was accomplished by adjusting
grating depth.
