L Power is divided! Can we control it? Coupling strength Length of coupling section You will learn about this in week or two!

When brought close to the waveguide this wavelength will be trapped in the resonator. Doing that, light is efficiently filtered out and transferred into the other waveguide Add-drop filter Extenstion: Make a cascade of filters for more wavelengths Institute of Electromagnetic Fields (IEF) Nikola Đorđević – [email protected] | Salamin Yannick - [email protected] 30.04.2015 | 5 Bragg Mirror Mirrors are key parts in making a laser, for example. The question is, how to make a broad band mirror? Reflection properties are defined by period of the mirror (Λ), filling factor, and number of periods. Goal is to design mirror with 99% of reflectivity over defined range of wavelengths. Extension: turn mirror into filter!

In reality, we change index of refraction, but here we want to show proof of principle. Phase is different in two arms since the upper one is longer. Once combined, signal can be either divided or emerge at one arm.

Once we know what are you working on, you will get detailed description, with defined milestones. (We are always open for questions, don’t forget that! ) Discussion about the project reports and presentation is planned for the following weeks.
