silicon waveguides,optical frequency domain reflectometry,reflection coefficient

The multiple reflections due to distributed reflections in the waveguides were formulated, which are observed superimposed on the main reflected signal in the OFDR in-depth profiles for the optical circuits. It was confirmed that the derived formula well reproduced both of the OFDR transmission and reflection profiles for the silicon waveguide, and that the distributed reflection coefficient of the waveguides can be accurately extracted by fitting.
