Abstract
The prism coupler allows the resonant excitation of leaky modes whose transverse field distribution in the guiding structure is close to that of guided waves, The paper is concentrated on the study of the influence of the associated electromagnetic resonances on the linear response of this distributed coupler while taking into account the width of coupling gap and the induced anisotropy of waveguiding media. The characteristics of prism coupling into anisotropic thin films are calculated by 4×4 matrix algebra.
