摘要
The coordinate transformation approach is applied for the design of an optical mode adaptor between two different width waveguides in the near IR telecom optical domain. The control of the mode profile in the adaptor is achieved by considering a composite waveguide consisting of a thin metamaterial (MM) layer intercalated between 2 A mu m thick SU8 photoresist slab and a glass substrate. We demonstrate that intercalated metafilm enables the realization of a space coordinate transformation and allows a precise control of the light propagation in the composite waveguide. Numerical simulations and experimental realizations of the metamaterial layer are performed in order to validate the device concept and realization feasibility.
