Design of a Four-Branch Optical Power Splitter Based on Gallium-Nitride Using Rectangular Waveguide Coupling for Telecommunication Links

Abstract: This paper reports design of a simple four-branch optical power splitter using five parallel rectangular waveguides coupling in a gallium-nitride (GaN) semiconductor/sapphire for telecommunication links. The optimisation was conducted using the 3D FD-BPM method for long wavelength optical communication. The result shows that, at propagation length of 925 μm, the optical power input was successfully split into four uniform output beams, each with 24% of total input power. It is also shown that the relative outp… Show more

“…Two waveguides will exchange power and become coupled if they are close enough to each other. The amount of exchanged powers depends on the direction of the propagation [15], and we connected the input Ybranch to the two output Y-branches by utilizing the mode coupling phenomena to obtain a 1x4 optical power divider. The spatial dependence of one mode in a waveguide will be modified by another near it, and the optical power transfer from one waveguide to another has efficiency expressed by the coupling coefficient κ [33].…”

“…An Optical power divider is a waveguide structure that divides and combines optical signals. In recent years, several optical power divider technologies have recently been proposed, such as those using Y-branch [5][6][7], Y-branch with multimode interference (MMI) structure [8,9], directional coupler [10,11], grating [11], microring [12,13], rectangular waveguides coupling [14,15], and photonic…”

“…In parallel to these advances in sensing technology, nanostructural engineering and nanophotonic designs are also advancing the optical technology to nanoscale applications. In the last decade, lasing devices with ultra small footprints [142,114], on-chip waveguides [127], plasmonic waveguides [216,128,68], power-splitters [173], phase shifters [97,131],…”
