Variable splitting ratio 2 x 2 MMI couplers using multimode waveguide holograms.
Variable power splitting ratio 2x2 MMI couplers using multimode waveguide holograms are analyzed. Theoretical analysis shows that variable splitting ratios can be obtained with surface relief holograms on MMI couplers with fixed dimensions. Devices with paired-imaging lengths are designed on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform. Beam propagation simulations are used to verify a matrix theory a...
متن کاملOptimizing Imbalance and Loss in 2 2 3-dB Multimode Interference Couplers via Access Waveguide Width
The imbalance and excess loss in multimode interference couplers with fabrication errors are examined. Remarkably, there exists a number of optimum access waveguide widths which give a minimum imbalance. Furthermore, quite low excess loss can be simultaneously achieved by choosing one particular optimum width. It is also shown that paired interference couplers have better imbalance performance ...
متن کاملPhase transition in multimode nonlinear parity-time-symmetric waveguide couplers
Parity-time-symmetric (-symmetric) optical waveguide couplers offer new possibilities for fast, ultracompact, configurable, all-optical signal processing. Here, we study nonlinear properties of finite-size multimode -symmetric couplers and predict the nonlinear oscillatory dynamics that can be controlled by three parameters: input light intensity, gain and loss amplitude, and input beam profile...
متن کاملMultimode Interference Couplers with Tunable Power Splitting Ratios
New, compact multimode interference couplers with tunable power splitting ratios have been realized. Experiments show large tuning ranges. Such couplers are needed to optimize ON–OFF ratios in interferometric devices and may find applications as extremely compact switches.
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. ...
