Low Birefringence and 2-D Optical Confinement of Hollow Waveguide With Distributed Bragg Reflector and High-Index-Contrast Grating

A hollow optical waveguide is proposed in which light can be confined in an air gap between a distributed Bragg reflecting (DBR) mirror and a high-index-contrast grating (HCG) mirror. Because of the combined effect of vertical (DBR) and lateral (HCG) periodicity, the proposed hollow waveguide shows...
