Article Abstract
A compact on-chip three-mode (de-)multiplexer based on a grooved waveguide multimode interferometer (GW-MMI) coupler was demonstrated on an indium phosphide (InP) platform for the first time. Two grooves were incorporated into the GW-MMI structure to facilitate the generation of three discrete waveguides that would effectively confine the self-images and enhance the phase-matching condition between them, resulting in a significantly more compact MMI length of just 198 μm. The ridge waveguides were fabricated using a conventional contact lithography process, which is both straightforward and cost-effective. The measured insertion losses of the TE, TE, and TE modes are 2.9 dB, 7.53 dB, and 4.05 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the 3 dB bandwidths for all modes are larger than 13.5 nm in comparison to the value at 1550 nm.

To reduce the device footprint, a mode multiplexer with sub-wavelength pixelated superstructures is proposed. However, due to the accumulation of device fabrication deviation, the communication performance of mode multiplexer will be deteriorated.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe manipulation of optical modes directly in a multimode waveguide without affecting the transmission of undesired signal carriers is of significance to realize a flexible and simple structured optical network-on-chip. In this Letter, an arbitrary optical mode and wavelength carrier access scheme is proposed based on a series of multimode microring resonators and one multimode bus waveguide with constant width. As a proof-of-concept, a three-mode (de)multiplexing device is designed, fabricated, and experimentally demonstrated.
