Abstract

This paper reports the design and analysis of a Ge11.5As24Se64.5 chalcogenide optical waveguide. The structure consists of Ge11.5As24Se64.5 as a core material and Ge11.5As24S64.5 is considered as cladding material. Dispersion, mode, profile, and propagation loss analysis of the waveguide are considered in the near and mid-infrared spectral regions. The designed structure reports a −37.96 ps/nm km at 3 µm wavelength and 0.716 ps/nm km dispersion at 4 µm wavelength. The propagation loss of fundamental mode is 1.84, 2.20, and 1.97 dB/cm at 3, 4, and 6 µm wavelengths, respectively. These results show that the proposed optical waveguide design should find applications in supercontinuum generation.
