  • Abstract
    Mode coupling between local normal modes in branching and separating optical waveguides is treated. An analytic solution for power transfer is provided for structures whose shape has a particular functional form. Analytic results are compared to numerical calculations for linear branches. Numerical examples for the design of shaped structures fabricated with Ti:LiNbO3channel waveguides are given.
