Abstract

A simple and accurate model is presented for the study of ion-implanted AlGaAs/GaAs multi-quantum well dual waveguides. The impurity induced disordering defined multiquantum well dual waveguides are shown to have similar optical properties as conventional dielectric rib waveguides. They also provide a more flexible control over the waveguiding and coupling characteristics by changing parameters such as diffusion time, ion implant energy, mask width, and waveguide separation.
