“…Amongst are those reported by Paiam et al [3] on SiO 2 OSiON rib waveguide system, Baojun Li et al [4] on SiGe-Si material system, and Tsao et al [5] on silicon-on-insulator (SOI). It shows that no attempt has yet to be made to include optical polymers as the material for wavelength filtering.…”

A novel 1 × 2 multimode interference (MMI) optical wavelength filter for 1310 and 1550 nm operation based on photodefinable BenzoCyclobutene (BCB 4024–40) polymer is demonstrated. The device is fabricated on BK7 glass substrate with thin layer of SiO2 as cover. A cost effective chemical etching technique is used in the fabrication process to take advantage of the photosensitive nature of the polymer. The filter length is significantly reduced by adopting the restricted MMI scheme, lower beat length ratio, and cascaded MMI couplers. At 1550 nm filtering operation, the measured crosstalk is −20.6 dB and at 1310 nm filtering is −14.4 dB. The measured insertion loss is around 3.2–3.5 dB for both ports. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Several works have been performed to design an MMI-based demultiplexer in order to split the two telecommunication wavelengths, using the restricted interference mechanism [18][19][20][21], or an inverse design algorithm [22]. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been any demonstration of such components for NIR/MIR wavelengths.…”

Based on restricted interferences mechanism in a 1x2 MMI beam splitter, we theoretically investigate and experimentally demonstrate an ultra-compact MMI-based demultiplexer for the NIR/MIR wavelengths of 1.55 μm and 2 μm. The device is fabricated on 340 nm SOI platform, with a footprint of 293x6 μm 2 . It exhibits extremely low insertion losses of 0.14 dB and 1.2 dB at the wavelengths of 1.55 μm and 2 μm, respectively, with contrasts of approximately 20 dB for both wavelengths, and a cross-talk of 18.83 dB.

“…However, it is still not complete enough to cope with the large variety of building blocks required in order to realize an all optical processor. In addition, a disadvantage is that the demonstrated devices are still large and thus cannot be used for the realization of VLSI (Very Large Scale of Integration) all optical circuits [8][9][10][11]. Note that having a larger device means slower operation speed since the light requires a longer time to travel through the device.…”

In this paper, we propose an all optical logic gate based on a photonic crystals multimode interference (PC-MMI). The all optical logic gate with multifunctional performance has been designed theoretically in two-dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) structure using multimode interference (MMI) principle. The PhCs consist of periodical air holes in silicon-on-insulator structure. The MMI using line defect waveguide is a 3×3 structure on the PhCs. By switching the optical signal to different input waveguide ports, the device can operate as NAND, NOT, NOR, and OR gates simultaneously or individually. In our optimum design, the width of MMI section is 4.8 μm and the length is 64 μm. The spacing between two line-defect waveguides is 1.2 μm. The total length of the device is 70 μm with an input length of 3.2 μm. It is 1/10 smaller size than conventional MMI optical logic device with nearby 1 mm. Therefore, switching speed is also enhanced by the reduced device size. Our proposed structure would be very useful for construction of optical circuit, optical computer, and future Si-based optical integrated circuits.
