Abstract

Design of a planar waveguide light-beam combiner that performs summation of an array of external light beams is proposed. Variants of combiner design are analyzed, and a 3D variant with an optical isolator is proposed. Working parameters of combiner elements as a function of refractive indices of the structure layers are calculated. Minimum dimensions of the combiner input/output diffraction elements are estimated.
