  • Abstract
    A design is presented for a 3 dB TE0-TE1 optical waveguide mode convertor using a chirped grating. Devices were fabricated in Ti in-diffused lithium niobate by ion beam etching the grating pattern into the waveguide surface. TE0-TE1 mode coupling was observed experimentally with an insertion loss of 1.5 dB.
