Multimode interference devices and integration with electroabsorption modulators for photonic integrated circuits
The multi-mode interference (MMI) device is one of the Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) components. By manipulating the width and length of this device, light can be split either with different power ratio, different wavelength or different polarization, all of which have been investigated. MMI als...
