Abstract

The present invention proposes a polymer three-mode multiplexer based on cascaded tapered couplers, which includes input straight waveguides, few-mode tapered waveguides, single-mode tapered waveguides, S-shaped curved waveguides and output straight waveguides, S-shaped The curved waveguide is used to approach and separate the waveguides. When the fundamental mode is input from the three input straight waveguides and passes through the single-mode tapered waveguide along the S-shaped curved waveguide, the modes evolve through the few-mode tapered waveguide and the single-mode tapered waveguide, respectively. The second-order mode, the fundamental mode and the third-order mode are transmitted in the few-mode tapered waveguide to realize the multiplexing of the three modes. The multiplexer has the advantages of high mode conversion efficiency, low extra loss and large bandwidth, and is expected to be applied to the mode division multiplexing system in board-level optical interconnection.

Description

A polymer three-mode multiplexer based on cascaded tapered couplers technical field The present invention relates to a kind of mode multiplexer, particularly a kind of polymer three-mode based on cascaded tapered couplers multiplexer. Background technique With the increasing demand for large-capacity data transmission of on-board electronic systems, large-capacity, high-performance communication between modules Information transmission has become one of the key challenges. Modular division multiplexing (MDM) technology can effectively expand the data capacity of the transmission channel. A promising method for large-capacity information transmission at the board level. The mode multiplexer / demultiplexer is the key in the mode division multiplexing system components. Currently, mode (de)multiplexers based on different structures have been proposed, including asymmetric Y-branch, multimode interference (MMI), Directional coupling (DC), multimode gratings and adiab...
