Polarization-Insensitive, Silicon-Photonics Circuit, Four-Mode Spatial Multiplexer Matched to a Rectangular Core Fiber (W2A.20)
Presenter: Dan Marom, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
We design and test a SiPh mode multiplexer circuit, utilizing 3µm-thick ridge waveguides having low polarization dependence. The multiplexer achieves low loss (2-3dB) and low PDL (<0.8dB) across the C-band. Output modes are coupled to rectangular core fiber.
