Abstract

Propagation and deflection of guided modes in a polymer slab waveguide is studied. Rotation of the grating structure with respect to the plane of incidence deflects the waveguide modes in the plane of the sample so that the propagation direction is no longer perpendicular to the grating grooves. The deflection angles are measured as a function of the grating rotation angle and the experimental results are compared with theoretically expected values. The difference in polarization behaviour between waveguide and plasmon surface polariton grating rotation coupling is shown.
