--- _id: '30387' abstract: - lang: eng text: Resonant evanescent coupling can be utilized to selectively excite orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes of high angular order supported by a thin circular dielectric rod. Our 2.5-D hybrid-analytical coupled mode model combines the vectorial fields associated with the fundamental TE- and TM-modes of a standard silicon photonics slab waveguide, propagating at oblique angles with respect to the rod axis, and the hybrid modes supported by the rod. One observes an efficient resonant interaction in cases where the common axial wavenumber of the waves in the slab matches the propagation constant of one or more modes of the rod. For certain modes of high angular order, the incident wave is able to transfer its directionality to the field in the fiber, exciting effectively only one of a pair of degenerate OAM modes author: - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: 'Hammer M, Ebers L, Förstner J.

Im ersten Teil werden 2-D Si/SiO2-Wellenleiterkonfigurationen mit hohem Brechungsindexkontrast betrachtet. Die Strukturen werden mit halb geführten Wellen unter schrägen Ausbreitungswinkeln angeregt. Dadurch kann die Leistungsübertragung zu bestimmten ausgehenden Moden unterdrückt werden, wodurch vollständig verlustfreie Systeme entstehen. Zusätzlich dient die Anregung mit einem seitlich begrenzten, einfallenden Wellenbündel aus halb geführten Wellen dazu, praktisch relevantere 3-D Konfigurationen zu realisieren. Darüber hinaus wird eine schrittweise Winkelspektrum-Methode vorgestellt, die es ermöglicht, in Kombination mit voll vektoriellen 2-D Finite-Elemente-Lösungen für Teilprobleme mit geringerer Komplexität, die Wellenausbreitung in planaren, linsenförmigen Wellenleitern numerisch in drei Raumrichtungen zu berechnen. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wird die Ausbreitung in Wellenleiterstrukturen aus Lithiumniobat untersucht, welche für quantenoptische Effekte genutzt werden. Zur Detektion einzelner Photonen werden supraleitende Nanodrähte auf eindiffundierten Lithiumniobat Wellenleitern mit zusätzlicher Taperschicht aus Silizium betrachtet. Um die Wellenausbreitung in diesen 3-D Wellenleitern zu beschreiben, wird eine einseitig gerichtete Finite-Elemente „Modal Matching“ Methode eingeführt. Abschließend werden Rippenwellenleiter aus Lithiumniobat analysiert, die auf Siliziumdioxid Plattformen aufgebracht sind. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hier auf dem nichtlinearen „Parametric Down-Conversion“ Prozess, der für die Erzeugung verschränkter Photonen verwendet wird. - lang: eng text: In this work, the electromagnetic wave propagation in integrated optical waveguides is studied by using semi-analytical and numerical simulation methods. In the first part, 2-D high-index contrast Si/SiO2 dielectric slab waveguide configurations are investigated. The structures are excited with semi-guided waves at oblique angles of propagation. Due to this, power transfer to specific outgoing modes can be suppressed, resulting in completely lossless configurations. The excitation is further examined for incoming, laterally confined wave bundles of semi-guided waves to realize practically more relevant 3-D configurations. Additionally, a stepwise angular spectrum method in combination with full vectorial 2-D finite element solutions for subproblems of lower complexity to numerically simulate the wave propagation in full 3-D planar lens-like waveguides is presented. In the second part, the wave propagation in lithium niobate waveguide structures is examined, which are used for quantum optical effects. On the one hand, superconducting nanowires on titanium in-diffused lithium niobate waveguides with an additional tapered silicon layer are used for single photon detection. The wave propagation in these 3-D multiscale tapers is studied by introducing a unidirectional finite element modal matching method. On the other hand, lithium niobate rib waveguides on silicon dioxide platforms are analyzed, focusing on the nonlinear parametric down-conversion process used for the generation of entangled photons. author: - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers citation: ama: Ebers L.

To properly use these components in the implementation of different quantum protocols, photons with different properties are required. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate a flexible source of correlated photons built on the LNOI waveguide of a special geometry. This source is based on the parametric down-conversion (PDC) process, in which the signal and idler photons are generated at the telecom wavelength and have different spatial profiles and polarizations, but the same group velocities. Distinguishability in polarizations and spatial profiles facilitates the routing and manipulating individual photons, while the equality of their group velocities leads to the absence of temporal walk-off between photons. We show how the spectral properties of the generated photons and the number of their frequency modes can be controlled depending on the pump characteristics and the waveguide length. Finally, we discuss special regimes, in which narrowband light with strong frequency correlations and polarization-entangled Bell states are generated at the telecom wavelength. author: - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Alessandro full_name: Ferreri, Alessandro id: '65609' last_name: Ferreri - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Maximilian full_name: Albert, Maximilian last_name: Albert - first_name: Cedrik full_name: Meier, Cedrik id: '20798' last_name: Meier orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3787-3572 - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 - first_name: Polina R. full_name: Sharapova, Polina R. id: '60286' last_name: Sharapova citation: ama: 'Ebers L, Ferreri A, Hammer M, et al.

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. article_number: '472' author: - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: Hammer M, Ebers L, Förstner J.

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. author: - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: Ebers L, Hammer M, Förstner J.

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. author: - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Manuel B. full_name: Berkemeier, Manuel B. last_name: Berkemeier - first_name: Alexander full_name: Menzel, Alexander last_name: Menzel - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: 'Ebers L, Hammer M, Berkemeier MB, Menzel A, Förstner J.

A critical angle can be defined beyond which all radiation losses are suppressed. Additionally an increase of the curvature radius of the bends also leads to low-loss configurations for incidence angles below that critical angle. A combination of two bent corner systems represents a step-like structure, behaving like a Fabry-Perot interferometer, with two partial reflectors separated by the vertical height between the horizontal slabs. We numerically analyse typical high-index-contrast Si/SiO2 structures for their reflectance and transmittance properties. When increasing the curvature radius the resonant effect becomes less relevant such that full transmittance is reached with less critical conditions on the vertical distance or the incidence angle. For practical interest 3-D problems are considered, where the structures are excited by the fundamental mode of a wide, shallow rib waveguide. High transmittance levels can be observed also for these 3-D configurations depending on the width of the rib. article_type: letter_note author: - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: 'Ebers L, Hammer M, Förstner J.

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. author: - first_name: Manfred full_name: Hammer, Manfred id: '48077' last_name: Hammer orcid: 0000-0002-6331-9348 - first_name: Lena full_name: Ebers, Lena id: '40428' last_name: Ebers - first_name: Andre full_name: Hildebrandt, Andre last_name: Hildebrandt - first_name: Samer full_name: Alhaddad, Samer id: '42456' last_name: Alhaddad - first_name: Jens full_name: Förstner, Jens id: '158' last_name: Förstner orcid: 0000-0001-7059-9862 citation: ama: 'Hammer M, Ebers L, Hildebrandt A, Alhaddad S, Förstner J.
