We investigate the loss mechanism in three-moded multimode-interference couplers that are
the building blocks of a compact and low-loss waveguide crossing structure. Broadband …

Compact power splitters are essential components in integrated optics. While 1× 2 power
splitters with uniform splitting are widely used, a 1× N splitter with arbitrary number N of ports …

This paper demonstrates step-index (SI) and graded-index (GI) core-based multimode
interference (MMI) splitters realized with polymer materials for photonic integrated circuits …

Engineering phonon transport in physical systems is a subject of interest in the study of
materials, and has a crucial role in controlling energy and heat transfer. Of particular interest …

Transceivers that function under a high-speed rate (over 200 Gb/s) need to have more
optical power ability to overcome the power losses which is a reason for using a larger RF …
