Abstract: The Bloch oscillations in the zigzag array of the optical waveguides are considered. The multiple scattering formalism (MSF) is used for the numerical simulation of the optical beam which propagates within the array. The effect of the second-order coupling which depends on the geometrical parameters of the array is investigated. The results obtained within the MSF are compared with the calculation based on the phenomenological coupling modes model. The calculations are performed for the waveguides fabricated in alkaline earth boro-aluminosilicate glass sample, which are the most promising for the C-band (1530-1565 nm).
