Terahertz branching waveguide coupler with tunable coupling degree based on vanadium dioxide
This paper presents a terahertz branch waveguide directional coupler with tunable coupling based on vanadium dioxide (VO2). Tuning of the coupling degree can be realized by the VO2 film covering the surface of the branch waveguide. The tuning range of the coupling degree depended on the total width of the branch waveguide and the width of the branch encompassed by the VO2 film. The coupling degree can be adjusted by controlling the conductivity of the VO2 film. The operating frequency of the coupler was approximately 220 GHz, and the tuning range was from 3 dB to 20 dB. The isolation and return losses of the coupler were less than 20 dB. This coupler can realize coupling tuning and has potential applications in the field of terahertz communication.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
