Abstract

When properly configured, the 90° Bragg waveguide deflector may be used to serve a number of integrated optical functions[1]. In this paper we discuss its use as a polarizer/analyzer and as a lens-less waveguide beam expander. Applications of the Bragg-effect polarizer/analyzer include polarization duplexing for optical communications systems and output analyzation for guided wave intensity modulators. The lens-less Bragg-effect beam expander may be used as source collimator in real-time acousto-optic signal processing circuits[2].
