An analytical formula for optimum 1xN multimode input/output channel width is derived for improved performance based on the insertion loss and output uniformity. Experimental investigation of a SOI based 1x12 MMI confirms the analytical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
