摘要
In the past, multimode interference (MMI) devices mostly have been used as couplers, combiners and simple switches. Recently, there has been much research interest in making modifications to the basic MMI structure in order to achieve much greater functionality. Of particular interest has been the possibility of implementing a variety of all-optical signal processing functions. This paper reviews recent novel advances with these devices and examines some of the possible signal processing applications.
