Design Rules for Maximally Flat Wavelength-Insensitive Optical Power Dividers Using Mach~Zehnder Str - IEEE Photonics Technology Letters

چکیده
A cascade of two directional couplers with a relative phase shift between them, serves as an optical power divider. Simple analytic universal design rules for selecting the appropriate net coupling strength in each device, and for the phase shift, yield maximally flat response in terms of deviations in wavelength, polarization, or uniform fabrication errors, and are applicable to any power division ratio.

Photonic systems that use a variable or chirped optical wavelength and a single Mach–Zehnder modulator have been analyzed to determine the relation between optical bandwidth and spur free dynamic range. A novel wavelength insensitive biasing technique is proposed which significantly reduces the second-order distortion and increases the optical bandwidth.
