Abstract:
In this paper, we propose conditions for the design of a single-mode rib channel waveguide based on dielectric materials such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) for the 0.633-µm visible light. We also design Y-splitter structures, which show high-degree optical confinement and low bend losses at various radii of curvatures. Small radii of curvatures are extremely desirable in integrated photonics as they permit decreasing the dimensions but can also potentially reduce power consumption in the active devices.

Keywords:
single mode, rib channel waveguide, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, beam propagation method.
