Design, simulation, and fabrication of a 90° SOI optical hybrid based on the self-imaging principle

Abstract: This paper introduces a compact 90º optical hybrid, built on small size SOI waveguide technology .This optical hybrid is a critical component of a potentially low-cost coherent optical receiver design developed within the frame of our Optical Coherent Transmission for Access Network Extensions (OCTANE) project. In previous recent work, 90º optical hybrids were realized in SOI rib waveguide technology with 4 µm top silicon and a rib height of approximately 2 µm. In this paper, we introduce a compact 90º optical… Show more

“…Glance literature survey shows that application examples for utilizing MMI couplers include electro-optic switches [3,4], MZI-based switches [5,6], passive MZI polarization splitters and convertors [7], microring resonators [8], optical 90° hybrids [9] and phased array wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) [10]. Tapers are usually used to adapt the width of the interconnecting single mode waveguides to the wider width of the I/O access ports interfacing with the MMI coupler.…”
