On-chip transformation optics for multimode waveguide bends.
Current optical communication systems rely almost exclusively on multimode fibres for short- and medium-haul transmissions, and are now expanding into the long-haul arena. Ultra-high bandwidth applications are the main drive for this expansion, based on the ability to spatially multiplex data channels in multimode systems. Integrated photonics, on the other hand, although largely responsible fo...
متن کاملUltra-low-loss CMOS-compatible waveguide crossing arrays based on multimode Bloch waves and imaginary coupling.
We experimentally demonstrate broadband waveguide crossing arrays showing ultralow loss of 0.0 4dB/crossing (0.9%) on average and converging to 0.033 dB/crossing (0.075%) matching theory and cross-talk suppression over 35 dB in a CMOS-compatible geometry. The principle of operation is the tailored excitation of a low-loss spatial Bloch wave formed by matching the periodicity of the crossing arr...
متن کاملLow-loss waveguide crossing using a multimode interference structure
A novel design technique for low-loss waveguide crossing using the self-imaging properties of multimode interference (MMI) structures is presented. The technique exploits the observation that optical fields with a small 1/e width relative to that of the MMI structure in the image reformed region experience negligible propagation loss even in the absence of lateral guiding mechanism around the r...
متن کاملUltralow-loss silicon waveguide crossing using Bloch modes in index-engineered cascaded multimode-interference couplers.
We investigate the loss mechanism in three-moded multimode-interference couplers that are the building blocks of a compact and low-loss waveguide crossing structure. Broadband silicon waveguide crossing arrays with <0.01 dB insertion loss per crossing are proposed using cascaded multimode-interference couplers, where lateral subwavelength nanostructures are used to reduce the insertions loss. ...
متن کاملMultimode Fiber Using Adaptive Optics
Transmitter-based adaptive optics and receiver-based single-mode filtering are combined to compensate modal dispersion in multimode fiber (MMF). A liquid-crystal spatial light modulator controls the launched field pattern for ten 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero channels, wavelength-division multiplexed on a 200-GHz grid in the C-band. Error-free transmission through 2.2 km of 50m graded-index MMF is ...
