“…9 However, the signal carried by light is transformed into an electronic signal, processed in the electronic circuit, then transformed into a light signal once again and sent out through the optical fiber. If the signal can be treated or processed with the optical circuit without transforming it into an electronic signal, the signal processing device will be highly simplified, and, more importantly of late, it will contribute to a reduced amount of energy consumed for the communication.…”

We have investigated the electromagnetic characteristics of an optical configuration consisting of two dielectric regions of the same n>1 with a thin flat gap of air/vacuum of width d between them. Based on an analytical and exact solution to Maxwell’s equations including an evanescent field in the vacuum gap, we have obtained the transmission property of a four terminal optical circuit that consists of two input lights aimed toward the gap from both sides of the dielectric regions and two output lights from the gap, where all of the four terminals have the same angle to a plane that is vertical to the boundary plane between the dielectric and the vacuum. The results show several unique possible applications of the optical circuit elements such as a variable ratio power splitter, phase to amplitude field modulator, and optical mode selector.
