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