Abstract

When two parallel waveguides are close to each other, the power of the two adjacent waveguides will be periodically converted to form a directional coupled waveguide system (). The transverse coupling between two parallel waveguides can be described by mode coupling theory. However, in practical application, due to the limitation of equipment or manual computing capacity, it is impossible to quickly calculate the coupling efficiency of two optical fibers through the current specific formula. Through the form of MATLAB programming, it can determine whether the fiber is a single-mode fiber, solve the characteristic equation to obtain the propagation constant, integrate the coupling coefficients K12 and K21, solve the coupling efficiency in the fiber, and finally output in the form of graphics. The results show that for the directional coupler composed of two fibers, if the core radius and core refractive index change, the mismatching phase constant and coupling efficiency will change correspondingly, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the predicted results. On this background, this paper proposes the form of MATLAB programming to calculate coupling efficiency. The coupling efficiency of fiber directional couplers is analyzed. The theory gives accurate results within the actual parameters.
