| 摘要 |
An optical device comprising a substrate having a planar surface and having an optical core thereon. The device also comprises a two-dimensional grating located in the optical core, said two-dimensional grating being formed by a regular two-dimensional pattern of light-refractive structures, one of said light-refractive structures being located at each node of a regular 2D lattice located in a laterally bounded region. The device also comprises first and second optical waveguides being on the planar substrate and having ends end-coupled to the two-dimensional grating, the first optical waveguide being such that a direction of propagation near the end thereof is substantially along a primitive lattice vector of said 2D lattice, the second optical waveguide being such that a direction of propagation near the end thereof is not-parallel to a primitive lattice vector of said regular 2D lattice. |
