Design and Optimization of Thermo-Optically Tunable Polymer WBG
we investigate the method to improve the thermo-optic modulation efficiency of Waveguide Bragg Gratings(WBG)based on polymer material.According to the optical characteristics of polymer materials
a third-order WBG is designed.The effects of WBG structure parameters on the optical transmission spectrum of the WBG are also analyzed. In order to improve the thermooptic modulation efficiency
anembedded electrode structure combined with the Air Trenches(AT)symmetrically beside the WBG is proposed. The simulation results show that the wavelength-tuning sensitivity of the propose WBG structureis increased by 1. 87 times
which can achieve a broad wavelength-tuning range. Compared with general thermo-optic modulation structures
the designed thermooptically tunable WBG features strong heated ability
