High common mode rejection ratio InP 90° optical hybrid in ultra-broadband at 60 nm with deep-rigded waveguide based on ×4 MMI coupler

【摘要】 An In P optical 90° hybrid based on a ×4 MMI coupler with a deep ridged waveguide is designed and fabricated. The working principle of the 90° hybrid is systematically introduced. Three-dimensional beam ropagation method(3D BPM) is used to optimize the structure parameters of the 90° hybrid. The designed compact structure is demonatrated to have a low excess loss less than -0.15 dB, a high common mode rejection ratio better than 40 d B, and a low relative phase deviation less than ±2.5° . The designed hybrid is manufactured on a sandwitched structure deposited on an In P substrate. The measured results show that the common mode rejection ratios are larger than 20 d B in a range from 1520 nm to 1580 nm.The phase deviations are less than ±5° in a range from 1545 nm to 1560 nm and less than ±7° across the C band. The designed 90° optical hybrid is suitable well for realizing miniaturization, high-properties, and high bandwidth of coherent receiver.更多还原
