Optical power splitters are key components in photonics, in the case of integrated circuits, current technology is mainly based on cascaded Y-splitters and multimode interference (MMI) devices. Cascaded Y-splitters stand out for broadband operation and a relatively simple design but suffer from large footprints and limited flexibility in terms of splitting ratio. MMIs typically exhibit a smaller footprint but have a reduced bandwidth compared to Y-splitters, a complex design is also required to achieve arbitrary splitting.

Abstract
Optical power splitters are key components in photonics, in the case of integrated circuits, current technology is mainly based on cascaded Y-splitters and multimode interference (MMI) devices. Cascaded Y-splitters stand out for broadband operation and a relatively simple design but suffer from large footprints and limited flexibility in terms of splitting ratio. MMIs typically exhibit a smaller footprint but have a reduced bandwidth compared to Y-splitters, a complex design is also required to achieve arbitrary splitting.File in questo prodotto:
