A wavelength demultiplexing (WDM) structure based on graphene nanoribbon resonators is proposed and simulated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Based on a simple structure, the demultiplexing wavelength and transmission characteristics of the WDM can be tuned by adjusting the length of the resonator, the nanoribbon width, or the chemical potential of graphene within a relative broadband frequency range. Moreover, the mechanism of the proposed WDM structure is analyzed in detail using the theory of Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonance and temporal coupled-mode theory. The proposed structure has promising potential in the field of ultracompact WDM systems in highly integrated optical circuits.

The high extinction ratio mode (de)multiplexer is a pivotal component in high capacity mode-division multiplexing data communication and nascent on-chip intermodal acousto-optic modulators. Up to now, high performance on-chip mode (de)multiplexers are still lacking for integrated AOMs on the lithium niobate-on-insulator platform. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate an innovative scheme to achieve high extinction ratio signal routing for acousto-optic modulation, by leveraging a two-mode (de)multiplexer in conjunction with a high- racetrack microring resonator.

Dipolar coupling between closely spaced magnetic waveguides enables magnonic directional couplers serving as signal combiners, power splitters, demultiplexers, and more. The wavelength-dependent coupling, combined with the weak nonlinear variation of spin-wave wavelength at constant frequency, introduces power-dependent characteristics of directional couplers. This property has been utilized in magnonic logic elements and other applications.

Using widely different dispersion of transverse supermodes in a strongly-coupled dual-core waveguide section, and using integrated pairs of input and output single-mode waveguides, we enable controlled excitation of nonlinear processes in multiple supermodes, while a basic physical mode decomposition aids the identification of parallel and cascaded processes.

A silica dual-band wavelength demultiplexer (DBWD) based on an asymmetric multimode interference coupler (MMI) is demonstrated. The selective separation and output of target dual bands can be implemented using the proposed design method based on asymmetric-defined MMI couplers.

Mode (de)multiplexer is one of the key components of mode-division multiplexing (MDM) system, which is regarded as an effective approach to further enhance the transmission capacity of optical interconnects. However, it's working bandwidth is intrinsically limited by the waveguide's dispersion. To address this challenge, we present what we believe to be a novel broadband four-mode (de)multiplexer for on-chip MDM that combines subwavelength grating (SWG) with beam shaping techniques.
