This paper investigates the waveguide propagation of polarized electromagnetic radiation in a thin-film integral optical waveguide. To describe this propagation, the adiabatic approximation of solutions of Maxwells equations is used. The construction of a reduced model for adiabatic waveguide modes that retains all the properties of the corresponding approximate solutions of the Maxwell system of equations was carried out by the author in a previous publication in DCM ACS, 2020, No 3. In this work, for a special case when the geometry of the waveguide and the electromagnetic field are invariant in the transverse direction. In this case, there are separate nontrivial TEand TM-polarized solutions of this reduced model. The paper describes the parametrically dependent on longitudinal coordinates solutions of problems for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions - adiabatic waveguide TE and TM polarizations. In this work, we present a statement of the problem of finding solutions to the model of adiabatic waveguide modes that describe the stationary propagation of electromagnetic radiation. The paper presents solutions for the single-mode propagation of TE and TM polarized adiabatic waveguide waves.

ABSTRACTSi implantation followed by furnace annealing has been used to produce the mixing of GaAs/AlGaAs multiquantum well (MQW) structures grown by MOVPE. Masked implants have been used to fabricate stripe optical waveguides. Results are presented here for the effect of the ion dose and the annealing time and it is shown that complete mixing occurs for a 1015 cm−2 dose of 500 keV Si+ after annealing at 750 °C for two hours. Waveguides fabricated using this process showed a minimum TE mode propagation loss of 33 dB cm−1 at a wavelength of 1.15 μm.
