What Does ARROW Stand For?

ARROW stands for Anti Resonant Reflecting Optical Waveguide

ARROW, or Anti Resonant Reflecting Optical Waveguide, refers to a specialized optical waveguide designed to confine and guide light with minimal loss. Its design utilizes anti-resonant conditions to suppress reflections, enhancing the transmission efficiency of light through the waveguide. This technology is particularly beneficial in applications such as telecommunications and sensor systems, where maintaining signal integrity and minimizing attenuation are crucial. The innovative structure of ARROW waveguides allows for flexible integration in various photonic devices, contributing to advancements in optical communication and integrated photonics.
