Ray analysis of tapered graded-index planar waveguides and fibers
Propagation properties of linearly tapered parabolic-index optical waveguides are investigated. Tapers with planar (two-dimensional) and fiber (three-dimensional) geometries are considered. A ray optics approach is used in the analysis, assuming that the characteristic dimensions of tapered waveguid...
