## Abstract The curved WDM waveguide coupler is presented and analyzed in this paper. Compared with the traditional straight coupler, the curved coupler has the advantage of achieving a wider bandwidth. Waveguide theory and the beam propagation method (BPM) are employed to analyze the operation of

## Abstract A scheme for simultaneous extinction ratio enhancement, optical frequency stabilization, and wavelength reuse is proposed for reflective semiconductor optical amplifier‐based wavelength‐division‐multiplexed passive optical networks to stabilize the optical channel frequency and enhance
Resonant arrays of wa¨eguide slots suffer from se¨ere bandwidth limitations, which are caused by the frequency dependence of the slot properties, and by the shift in the positions of the standing-wa¨e peaks relati¨e to the slot positions. In this paper, the effects of the use of wideband radiators a
