Influence of light scattering by 3D-irregularities on the characteristics of the integrated optical devices using for optical signal processing

Abstract

We analysis and discuss an influence of 3D waveguide's scattering on some characteristics of the integrated optical devices: attenuation in optical waveguides, threshold-pumping power for thin-film dye lasers, and dynamic range of integrated optical spectrum analyzer.
