A holographic grating on the guide acting under Bragg conditions deviate the guided light. This reflexinn causes polarization changes so that a T.E. incident wave will give some T.M. reflected wave. Devices of this type have been experimentally studied with special attention to mode conversion efficacity. Theorical study is also reported in a two dimensional calculation. Vectorial normalization conditions in the unperturbed case are derived from Maxwell's equations. Coupled mode treatment of the perturbed propagation is given explaining main experimental results.","PeriodicalId":429268,"journal":{"name":"1978 8th European Microwave Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125321675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This provides an effective LO rejection greater than 50dB and thus enables a single conversion to be used without high-order filtering.
