High-efficiency broadband light coupling between optical fibers and photonic integrated circuits (2018, background): “With adiabatically varying waveguides, the optical coupling length between two waveguides is given by λ0/(neff,1 – neff,2), where neff,1 and neff,2 are the effective refractive indices of the two eigenmodes [153].”
A microscopic view of the electromagnetic properties of sub-λ metallic surfaces (2009, methodology): “Because quasi-CWs are not normal modes (they are a superposition of modes), they do not obey orthogonality or reciprocity relationships [52].”
Principal Modes in Graded-Index Multimode Fiber in Presence of Spatial- and Polarization-Mode Coupling (2009, methodology): “The propagation constants are computed for in [23], but without taking birefringence into account.”
Near-to-Far Field Transformations for Radiative and Guided Waves (2015, methodology): “Similar normalization approach for guided modes can be found in [27].”
Optical vortices in fiber (2013, methodology): “Thus, obtaining accurate solutions would require using the full vector wave equation given by [19]”
The photonic lantern (2014, background): “If the cores are identical and uncoupled, their individual modes are degenerate (ie they share the same propagation constant) and so can be added together arbitrarily to form valid normal modes [96].”
