Re-inventing Multimode Interference Couplers Using Subwavelength Gratings
Abstract
Multimode-Interference (MMI) devices (see Fig. 1a) are fundamental building blocks in photonic integrated circuits, where they are used for power splitting and combining, optical switches and modulators, Mach-Zehnder interferometers and 90º hybrids for coherent optical receivers [1]. MMIs are based on the self-image principle, by which the guided modes of the multimode region interfere to form replicas of the input field with specific amplitude …
