  • Electromagnetic waveguides using cascaded mode conversion
    Patent number: 12663586
    Abstract: A device includes a first mode converter and a second mode converter that define a region between the first mode converter and the second mode converter. The region can contain a plurality of optical modes including at least three modes. The first mode converter and the second mode converter can generate a near-field via a conversion between the plurality of optical modes. The first mode converter can receive an input wave of a first mode and the second mode converter can generate an output wave of a second mode different from the first mode. The first mode converter and the second mode converter can generate a confined near-field via a conversion between the plurality of optical modes.

  • Cascaded-mode resonators
    Patent number: 12481101
    Abstract: A device includes a first mode converter and a second mode converter that define a region between the first mode converter and the second mode converter. The region can contain a plurality of orthogonal modes of a wave. The wave, when sent from outside the region and when propagating from the first mode converter towards the second mode converter, can include a first mode of the plurality of orthogonal modes. The second mode converter can convert the wave from the first mode of the plurality of orthogonal modes, to a second mode of the plurality of orthogonal modes that is different from the first mode. The first mode converter can convert the wave to the first mode of the plurality of orthogonal modes.
