摘要
Y分支和多模干涉结构广泛应用于平面光波导器件中 ,在这些器件中 ,Y分支和多模干涉结构输出对称性具有重要意义。引入Y分支和多模干涉结构输出的不对称主要原因是这两种结构中产生了一阶导模 ,设计一种新的耦合器结构 ,在这个结构中 ,两根单模波导分别放置在一根多模波导两边 ,并且单模波导的传播常量与多模波导的一阶模的传播常量相同 ,这种结构可以将一阶导模滤除。在Y分支和多模干涉结构中使用了这种结构 ,模拟结果表明 ,采用这种耦合器的Y分支和多模干涉结构具有非常好的输出对称性。
The Y-branch and multimode interferometric (MMI) structure are used in many kinds of planar lightwave circuits, and the symmetrical output of Y-branch or MMI structure takes important role in these apparates. The main factor that introduces asymmetry into the output of Y-branch or MMI structure is the first-order mode guided by them. A coupler in which the waveguides which can only guide the fundamental modes are located on both sides of the multimode waveguide is designed, and this coupler can filter out the first order mode guided by it. This coupler is used in Y-branch and MMI structure, and the simulation results show that the output of Y-branch and MMI structure with this coupler has better symmetry in comparison with traditional structure.
