Multimode-Interference-Based Waveguide Crossing in Two-Dimensional Cubic Photonic Crystal

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel design of photonic crystal waveguide crossing based on multimode-interference (MMI) structure is proposed. Two structures of difference device lengths are simulated and studied. The proposed structures have high transmission efficiency for a wide bandwidth. The crosstalk is -26dB with device length of 12 lattice periods and -39dB with device length of 24 lattice periods. The plane wave expansion method and finite-difference time-domain method are used to calculate the modal dispersion curve and field propagation, respectively. The proposed MMI-based waveguide crossing has the potential to be practical in high-density optical integrated circuits.
