Power divider with abrupt junction, applicable in optical communications

摘要

Power divider with abrupt junction, applicable in optical communications. The power divider with abrupt junction, applicable in optical communications, consists of a device where the transition occurs in an abrupt manner, by means of a structure formed by two parallel guides of the same width, this structure possessing a fundamental mode which by the theory of coupled modes can be approximately defined as the sum of the modes of the separate waveguides, the essence of the invention consisting in that transmission losses are reduced in the case of an appropriate ratio between the physical dimensions of the waveguides of the structure. <IMAGE>
