Integrated optics components and devices using periodic structures

The selected research activities on integrated optics components and devices using periodic structures are reviewed, with emphasis on the authors' works employing the electron-beam writing technique. The periodic structures include static gratings and dynamic ones produced through acoustooptic (AO) and electrooptic (EO) effects. They provide a variety of passive functions and effective means for guided-wave control. The review is made from the integration point of view, including the most recent results. First, the theoretical fundamentals are outlined and the electron-beam writing techniques, including the writing system, are discussed. Next, passive components (grating deflectors, filters, lenses, couplers, etc.) and elements for guided-wave controlling and detecting (AO and EO grating elements and photodetectors) are described. Then, integrated optic devices, i.e., wavelength demultiplexers, RF spectrum analyzers, optical disk pickup, etc., are presented. Finally, the possibility of future applications is discussed.
