研究目的
To design a new mode converter for mode division multiplexing networks that can convert between modes TE0 to TE1/TE2 or TE1 to TE1/TE2 with high efficiency and compact size.
研究成果
The designed mode converter achieves high conversion efficiency over 99% for mode conversions between TE0 to TE1/TE2 and TE1 to TE1/TE2, with low crosstalk below 0.03dB and compact size of 210μm. It offers large fabrication tolerances, making it suitable for CMOS technology and applications in reconfigurable mode division multiplexing networks.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations and does not include experimental validation. The device performance may be affected by real-world fabrication imperfections not fully accounted for in simulations.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves designing a mode converter using silicon Y-junction couplers and a butterfly-shaped phase shifter on a silicon-on-insulator platform. Theoretical models and simulations are used to optimize parameters for mode conversion efficiency.
