摘要
We report on a mode adapter that transitions light between two SOI waveguides having different widths. The device has been designed using a two-dimensional embedded coordinate transformation and consists of a thin sheet of a controlled anisotropic material directly placed on top of the Si slab. We demonstrate that this layer effectively controls the flow of energy propagating in the Si slab by performing three-dimensional full-wave simulations. The proposed geometry can be implemented with planar optical metamaterials for various applications in guided optics. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America
