This is done by presenting a thorough theoretical and experimental investigation of sinusoidally modulated waveguides. In addition, this thesis comprises the first experimental realization of a parity-time-symmetric structure on this platform, as well as an extended coupled mode theory for dissipative waveguides. In this context, the existence of diffusion in ordered parity-time-symmetric systems is discussed. %L 530 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00002662 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002662 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00002662-2 %U https://d-nb.info/1293659525/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002662
