Abstract:
A tapered core waveguide which may be configured as a spectral component splitter, a spectral component combiner, and various combinations thereof including a reflective mode of operation. The tapered core waveguide has an aperture and cladding, and is dimensioned such that radiant energy admitted into the core via the aperture and having at least two spectral components would be emitted via the cladding at a location dependent on its frequency and/or its polarization, and that a plurality of spectral components injected to the core via the cladding will be mixed and emitted via the aperture.

Claim (Index 1):
An antenna array comprising:\n At least a first and a second of spectral combiners each comprising a tapered core waveguide having a core having a first end and a second end, the first end defining an aperture, the core having a depth direction extending between the first end and the second end; the core having a width dimension in at least one direction substantially transverse to the depth direction; the core width decreasing in magnitude in at least one direction, as a function of the depth such that the width magnitude at the aperture is higher than the width magnitude at the second end; a cladding disposed at least partially around the core; at least a first and a second radiant energy emitters disposed about the cladding or therein of the respective first and second spectral combiners, for coupling energy emitted from the energy emitters to the tapered core of the respective combiner via the cladding thereof.
