  text: Gaussian-beam-like bundles of semi-guided waves propagating in a dielectric
    slab can excite modes with high-order optical angular momentum supported by a
    circular fiber. We consider a multimode step-index fiber with a high-index coating,
    where the waves in the slab are evanescently coupled to the modes of the fiber.
    Conditions for effective resonant interaction are identified. Based on a hybrid
    analytical–numerical coupled mode model, our simulations predict that substantial
    fractions of the input power can be focused into waves with specific orbital angular
    momentum, of excellent purity, with a clear distinction between degenerate modes
    with opposite vorticity.

  text: A dielectric step-index optical fiber with tube-like profile is considered,
    being positioned with a small gap on top of a dielectric slab waveguide. We propose
    a 2.5-D hybrid analytical/numerical coupled mode model for the evanescent excitation
    of the tube through semi-guided waves propagating in the slab at oblique angles.
    The model combines the directional polarized modes supported by the slab with
    analytic solutions for the TE-, TM-, and orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) modes
    of the tube-shaped fiber. Implementational details of the scheme are discussed,
    complemented by finite-element simulations for verification purposes. Our results
    include configurations with resonant in-fiber excitation of OAM modes with large
    orbital angular momentum and strong field enhancement.

  text: A stepwise angular spectrum method (SASM) for curved interfaces is presented
    to calculate the wave propagation in planar lens-like integrated optical structures
    based on photonic slab waveguides. The method is derived and illustrated for an
    effective 2D setup first and then for 3D slab waveguide lenses. We employ slab
    waveguides of different thicknesses connected by curved surfaces to realize a
    lens-like structure. To simulate the wave propagation in 3D including reflection
    and scattering losses, the stepwise angular spectrum method is combined with full
    vectorial finite element computations for subproblems with lower complexity. Our
    SASM results show excellent agreement with rigorous numerical simulations of the
    full structures with a substantially lower computational effort and can be utilized
    for the simulation-based design and optimization of complex and large scale setups.

  text: We investigate optical microresonators consisting of either one or two coupled
    rectangular strips between upper and lower slab waveguides. The cavities are evanescently
    excited under oblique angles by thin-film guided, in-plane unguided waves supported
    by one of the slab waveguides. Beyond a specific incidence angle, losses are fully
    suppressed. The interaction between the guided mode of the cavity-strip and the
    incoming slab modes leads to resonant behavior for specific incidence angles and
    gaps. For a single cavity, at resonance, the input power is equally split among
    each of the four output ports, while for two cavities an add-drop filter can be
    realized that, at resonance, routes the incoming power completely to the forward
    drop waveguide via the cavity. For both applications, the strength of the interaction
    is controlled by the gaps between cavities and waveguides.

  text: "A rectangular dielectric strip at some distance above an optical slab waveguide
    is\r\nbeing considered, for evanescent excitation of the strip through the semi-guided
    waves supported\r\nby the slab, at specific oblique angles. The 2.5-D configuration
    shows resonant transmission\r\nproperties with respect to variations of the angle
    of incidence, or of the excitation frequency,\r\nrespectively. The strength of
    the interaction can be controlled by the gap between strip and slab.\r\nFor increasing
    distance, our simulations predict resonant states with unit extremal reflectance\r\nof
    an angular or spectral width that tends to zero, i.e. resonances with a Q-factor
    that tends\r\nto infinity, while the resonance position approaches the level of
    the guided mode of the strip.\r\nThis exceptionally simple system realizes what
    might be termed a “bound state coupled to the\r\ncontinuum”."

  text: Semi-guided waves confined in dielectric slab waveguides are being considered
    for oblique angles of propagation. If the waves encounter a linear discontinuity
    of (mostly) arbitrary shape and extension, a variant of Snell's law applies, separately
    for each pair of incoming and outgoing modes. Depending on the effective indices
    involved, and on the angle of incidence, power transfer to specific outgoing waves
    can be allowed or forbidden. In particular, critical angles of incidence can be
    identified, beyond which any power transfer to non-guided waves is forbidden,
    i.e. all radiative losses are suppressed. In that case the input power is carried
    away from the discontinuity exclusively by reflected semi-guided waves in the
    input slab, or by semi-guided waves that are transmitted into other outgoing slab
    waveguides. Vectorial equations on a 2-D cross sectional domain apply. These are
    formally identical to the equations that govern the eigenmodes of 3-D channel
    waveguides. Here, however, these need to be solved not as an eigenvalue problem,
    but as an inhomogeneous problem with a right-hand-side that is given by the incoming
    semi-guided wave, and subject to transparent boundary conditions. The equations
    resemble a standard 2-D Helmholtz problem, with an effective permittivity in place
    of the actual relative permittivity. Depending on the properties of the incoming
    wave, including the angle of incidence, this effective permittivity can become
    locally negative, causing the suppression of propagating outgoing waves. A series
    of high-contrast example configurations are discussed, where these effects lead
    to - in some respects - quite surprising transmission characteristics.
