An introduction to arrays of coupled waveguides

Optics 2015-06-02 v1

Abstract

We present the theoretical basis needed to work in the field of photonic lattices. We start by studying the field modes in- and out-side a single waveguide. Then, we use perturbation theory to deal with an array of coupled waveguides and construct mode-coupling theory. Finally, we realize a survey of optical analogues to quantum systems accompanied by an extensive bibliography.
