Polarization management is crucial to the design, implementation, and operation of optical devices. This thesis explores the use of stress engineering for manipulating birefringence in silicon-on-insulator based waveguide systems. Two schemes are proposed: one is to implement polarization insensitive waveguides using a stressed cladding overlayer, the other adapts the polarization diversity approach by introducing novel stress-based polarization splitters. Both theoretical study and experimental demonstrations of stress-based waveguide devices are presented.

Wie zu erwarten ist die Redaktion der "Women's Health" ausschlielich mit Frauen besetzt, die Ausnahme bildet nur ein freier Redakteur im Bereich Requisite. Bei der Men's Health ist naturlich auch der Groteil der...

Pohádka o Vodníčkovi z Mlýnského rybníka čtenáře svým poutavým vyprávěním zavede do tajemného světa pod vodní hladinou a zároveň mistrně přiblíží kouzlo dávno zašlých časů lidského pokolení.
