Design and simulation of a 4×4 InP-based MMI combiner
A compact 4×4 Multimode Interference(MMI) combiner with the size of 3 890 μm×100 μm is designed by making use of the advantage of the InP-based air-restricted waveguide in small bending radius.A tapered waveguide is inserted between the input/output waveguides and the MMI zones
effectively improving the performance of the combiner.The device is simulated by the three-dimensional wide-angle beam propagation method
obtaining the optimized parameter values and thus optimizing its structure.
