Coupled-mode equation for axially periodic perturbation: -

Consider an optical fiber with RI profile as n2 ( x , y) in which there is a periodic z -

dependent perturbation in the RI profile as Δn 2 ( x , y , z)

It could be a periodic stress

OR a periodic undulation of this fiber axis.

For a sinusoidal z -perturbation: Δ n ( x , y , z)= Δ n (x , y )sin ⁡kz

K= ; Λ=¿spatial period

If ψ 1 (x , y ) and ψ 2 (x , y ) are the two modes of the fiber, then the total field under
perturbation may be written as

ψ ( x , y , z ) =A ( z ) ψ 1 e−i β z + B( z)ψ 2 e−i β

(1)

β 1 , β 2 → are mode propagation constants without perturbation.

A(z ), B(z )→ are the amplitudes of the modes.

* Without perturbation A, B are constant.

* In absence of any perturbation:

∇ 2xy Ψ 1 + [ k 20 n2 ( x , y )−β 21 ] Ψ 1=0

Equations (9) describe the coupling between two modes propagating along the same

Boundary condition: A unit power is incident in mode A propagating through a periodic

wavelength of length L.

i.e., A(z =0)=1

Since there is no back-coupled wave beyond
z=L , B( z=L)=0

where Γ =β 1−β 2−K is the phase mismatch parameter and β 1 , β 2 are the propagation

We first consider the coupling under a phase matching condition i.e., Γ =0 ie, the

At z=0 , mode 1 , { E1 , β , } is excited with unit power, A(z =0)=1 and B(z=0)=0.

∴ b1=0 and b2=−1

A (z)=cos ⁡κz
So,
B(z )=−sin ⁡κz

Hence, the power carried by modes { E 1 , β 1 } and { E 2 , β 2 } vary with z as

2 2
P1=¿ A (z)¿ =cos ⁡κz
P2=¿ B(z )¿ 2=sin2 ⁡κz

Thus, we see that a periodic exchange of power

between the modes takes place. Under phase-matching
condition, complete transfer of power is possible.
