Propagation characteristics of an optoelectronically reconfigurable waveguide with an infinite periodic slot array with an eletcrically short period

In this study, propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in a dielectric waveguide with an infinite periodic slot array with an electrically shot period are analyzed using mode matching technique, when the apertures of the slot array are filled with a semiconductor illuminated with light at an interval of an integer time the period of the slot array. Bragg Interaction and a leaky wave characteristic in the dielectric waveguide are theoretically discussed from a view of applications of the dielectric waveguide to reconfigurable waveguides, when the structure parameters of the slot array are changed using phoinduced plasma.
