Fabrication of grating waveguide and coupling grating using two-photon initiated photopolymerization. Chem J Chin Univ 2004;25(10):1931–3 (in Chinese). 2]], the electric fields of the TE guided wave and the TE radiating wave are obtained by solving the Helmholtz equation in the spatial rectangular coordinates. And then the relations between the loss coefficient and the different structure parameters of the waveguide and grating are analyzed by using the mode coupling theories, and their corresponding numerical simulation results are given. In the end the result obtained for this novel structure and that for conventional rectangle structure are compared, and the difference and the sameness are obtained.
