摘要：

Multimode power splitters are the fundamental building blocks in mode division multiplexing systems. In this paper, we propose a low -loss and compact, dual -mode, 3 -dB power splitter for the two lowest TE modes combining three different structures, including a directional coupler, a multimode interferometer, and a Y -junction. The coupling length of the proposed device is only 7.2 mu m. For both TE 0 and TE 1 modes, the numerical simulation shows that the insertion loss is only less than 0.1 dB and crosstalk is less than - 20 dB at the wavelength range of 1520-1580 nm. The working bandwidth can cover the entire C -band. It offers a potential solution for a 3 -dB power splitter of the two lowest TE modes. (c) 2024 Optica Publishing Group
