The problem of propagation and interaction of optical radiation in dielectric waveguides is cast in the coupled-mode formalism. This approach is useful for treating problems involving energy exchange between modes. In this study, the principal features of coupled modetheory are reviewed. A number of guided-wave interactions encountered in guided-wave optics are analyzed using coupled-mode theory. Explicit expressions for the coupling coefficient which play a central role in this theory, are given. Also, an exact analysis, based on local field expansion, is used in order to calculate the coupling coefficient in corrugated waveguide structures having rectangular tooth shape and small tooth height. Expressions for the coupling coefficient in corrugated waveguides with rectangular tooth shape are analyzed based on local mode expansion. Coupling coefficient in corrugated waveguides with arbitrary cross-section is examined. The expressions are exact to first order in the tooth height for any waveguide cross-section. Finally, we compute coupling coefficients for TE modes as a function of tooth height, active layer thickness, and Bragg scattering order for a variety of corrugation shapes. It is shown that the coupling coefficient for sawtooth gratings has a resonans in some cases.

THE RESPONSE OF INFINITE PERIODIC BEAMS TO POINT HARMONIC FORCES - A FLEXURAL WAVE ANALYSIS
MEAD, DJ; Yaman, Yavuz (1991-02-08)
An exact analysis is presented of the vibration response of an infinite beam on periodic supports, subjected to a transverse harmonic point force. The supports must all be the same and can be simply supported or be generally linear with elastic, inertial and dissipative properties. The total response is found as the sum of the flexural wave fields generated by the applied force and the infinite number of support reaction forces and moments. The concept of phased arrays of forces and moments is used to sum t...
A numerical solution of the steady MHD flow through infinite strips with BEM
Bozkaya, Canan; Tezer, Münevver (2012-04-01)
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid in infinite channels in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated. The fluid is driven either by a pressure gradient or by the currents produced by electrodes placed parallel in the middle of the walls. The applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the infinite walls which are combined from conducting and insulated parts. A boundary element method (BEM) solution has been obtained by using a fundamental so...
A Numerical Model for Investigating the Effect of Rough Surface Parameters on Radar Cross Section Statistics
Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2017-07-14)
Electromagnetic scattering from rough surfaces is modeled by combining the periodic finite element method and the transformation electromagnetics approach. The behavior of the radar cross section (RCS) at both specular and backscattering directions is analyzed as a function of rms height and correlation length with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. The concept of backscattering enhancement is illustrated, and some conclusions are drawn about the RCS statistics.
The electronic structure of a quantum well under an applied electric field
Sari, H; Ergun, Y; Sokmen, I; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 1996-01-01)
The effects of an applied electric field on quantum well subband energies are calculated variationally within the effective mass approximation for model potential profiles. The concept of a quasi-bound state is examined critically. For higher electric field values it is shown that the quasi-bound state approximation for the ground and first excited state of the electron, and for the ground state of the hole is valid.

The spin effects on electronic, optical and mechanical properties of new ferromagnetic chalcopyrite: YMnS2
Yıldız, Buğra; Erkisi, Aytac; Sürücü, Gökhan (2022-05-15)
In this study, magnetic and electronic nature, optical behavior, and elasticity properties of YMnS2 compound have been investigated by using density functional theory (DFT). The compound belongs to the chalcopyrite family having tetragonal crystal structure with 122 (I-42d) space group. Firstly, the optimization process has been done for ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and paramagnetic orders to find most stable magnetic order and the formation energies have been determined. Negative formation energies pr...
