摘要
A polarization-insensitive 2 x 2 multimode interference coupler based on double strip silicon nitride waveguides is proposed and optimized by using the three-dimensional finite difference time domain method. By optimizing the device's structure parameters in detail, polarization independent excess loss of -0.32dB is obtained, and negligible output uniformities of -0.02dB and -0.03dB could be achieved for the TE and TM mode, respectively. The optimized polarization-insensitive 2 x 2 multimode interference coupler could be served as a building block on the double strip silicon nitride waveguides platform. (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
