Tunable 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...
متن کاملDemonstration of Compact 2x2 Multimode Interference Coupler on Silicon Nanomembrane
We designed and fabricated a 2x2 tapered multimode interference coupler on silicon-oninsulator with dimensions of 12.88μm×3μm. The device keeps a 50/50 splitting ratio over a 50nm bandwidth. To our best knowledge this is the most compact 2x2 MMI demonstrated. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (130.2790) Guided waves
متن کاملOptical Wavelength and Dimensions Tolerance Criterion for Multimode Interference Couplers
The self-imaging property of a homogeneous multi-moded planar optical waveguide has been applied in the design optical couplers based on multimode Interference (MMI). Based on this design, the optical wavelength and dimensions tolerance for MMI-3dB couplers are investigated analytically. They are shown to be inversely proportional to the multimode section width. Among Symmetrical, paired, and g...
متن کاملWavelength tuning of fiber lasers using multimode interference effects.
We report on a novel scheme to fabricate a simple, cheap, and compact tunable fiber laser. The tuning is realized by splicing a piece of single-mode fiber to one end of an active double-clad fiber, while the other end of the single-mode fiber is spliced to a 15 mm long section of 105/125 multimode fiber. The fluorescence signal entering into the multimode fiber will be reproduced as single imag...
متن کاملFabrication tolerant chalcogenide mid-infrared multimode interference coupler design with applications for Bracewell nulling interferometry.
Understanding exoplanet formation and finding potentially habitable exoplanets is vital to an enhanced understanding of the universe. The use of nulling interferometry to strongly attenuate the central star's light provides the opportunity to see objects closer to the star than ever before. Given that exoplanets are usually warm, the 4 µm Mid-Infrared region is advantageous for such observation...
