Abstract
A photonic crystal waveguide splitter that exhibits ultra low loss 3-dB splitting for TE-polarized light has been fabricated in silicon-on-insulator material using deep ultraviolet lithography. The high performance is achieved by utilizing a Y-junction, which is designed to ensure single-mode operation, and low loss 60° bends. Zero loss 3 dB output is experimentally obtained in the range 1560-1585 nm. Results from 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain modeling with no adjustable parameters are found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Related Research Topics
