Abstract:An ultracompact and ultrabroadband arbitrary ratio power splitter based on adiabatically tapered silicon waveguides, with subwavelength gratings in the coupling region, is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. Various power splitting ratios (PSRs) can be implemented by flexibly manipulating the gap of two adjacent tapered waveguides. The wavelength dependence is greatly reduced by introducing subwavelength gratings. Simulation results show that our proposed device has a 400 nm (1300 nm–1700 nm) bandwidth w… Show more
