Abstract
An empirical formula is developed for the static input/output optical characteristic of the active integrated-optic waveguide. Using this formula, closed-form analytical expressions, in terms of the ordinary Bessel functions, are obtained for the output optical components resulting from a modulated multisinusoidal optical input. Using these expressions the effect of the wavelength of the light input, the guide width, the modulation depth and the optical power for transperancy on the harmonic and intermodulation performance of the active integrated-optic waveguide can be studied.
