Abstract :
The mode conversion behavior of planar dielectric branching waveguides is studied as a function of branching angle, propagation direction of modes, and thickness ratio of branches. The multimode coupled equation and new step approximation method of branch taper are introduced, which give the accurate analysis of mode behavior in the branching waveguide of a large taper angle.
