Ultracompact photonic crystal polarization beam splitter based on multimode interference.
We propose a theoretical design for a compact photonic crystal (PC) polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on the multimode interference (MMI) effect. The size of a conventional MMI device designed by the self-imaging principle is not compact enough; therefore, we design a compact PC PBS based on the difference of the interference effect between TE and TM modes. Within the MMI coupler, the depe...
متن کاملTunable multimode interference coupler
Introduction: Multimode interference (MMI) couplers have been widely used in integrated photonic devices because of their compact size, wide optical bandwidth, polarisation independence and relaxed fabrication tolerances [1]. In most applications they operate as passive components, and only recently has their use as active components for the development of photonic switches been investigated [2...

(b) (c) Abstract—Computers are getting faster and faster every year and so is the transistors count. The capabilities of digital electronic devices have excelled during the past 40 years but since 2010 the pace has slowed down because of no reduction in semiconductor gate delays and them power required to drive them. This has led to the emergence of new technology of photonic switches and gates...
متن کاملMultimode Hong-Ou-mandel interference.
We consider multimode two-photon interference at a beam splitter by photons created by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The resulting interference pattern is shown to depend upon the transverse spatial symmetry of the pump beam. In an experiment, we employ the first-order Hermite-Gaussian modes in order to show that, by manipulating the pump beam, one can control the resulting two-photon...
متن کاملMicroring Resonators Based on 6x6 Generalized Multimode Interference Structures using Silicon Waveguides for Photonic Applications
In this paper, we would like to propose a new microring resonator structure based on 6x6 Generalized Mach Zehnder interferometer (GMZI) using silicon waveguides. It is showed that this new kind of the devices works as three separated microring resonators. This characteristic of the device leads to a variety of tasks important to optical communications, including switching, filtering, add-drop m...
