Abstract
An optical directional coupler, which consists of quantum wells with nanothickness, is designed by using Modal Transmission Line Theory (MTLT). To demonstrate the validity and usefulness, the propagation characteristics and the coupling efficiencies are rigorously evaluated at nanoscale couplers, which consist of double quantum wells with different effective masses. The numerical result reveals that the coupling efficiency of nanoscale couplers is maximized at a coupling length 2052.3 nm, if the total electron energy is 83.9 meV. Furthermore, the coupler operates as a filter with narrower band as the barrier thickness increases.
