Theoretical, experimental and numerical methods for investigating the characteristics of laser radiation scattered in the integrated-optical waveguide with three-dimensional irregularities

摘要

We consider theoretical, experimental and numerical methods which make it possible to analyse the key characteristics of laser radiation scattered in the integrated-optical waveguide with three-dimensional irregularities. The main aspects of the three-dimensional vector electrodynamic problem of waveguide scattering are studied. The waveguide light scattering method is presented and its main advantages over the methods of single scattering of laser radiation are discussed. The experimental setup and results of measurements are described. Theoretical and experimental results confirming the validity of the vector theory of three-dimensional waveguide scattering of laser radiation developed by the author are compared for the first time.
