Fast Adiabatic Mode Evolution Assisted 2 × 2 Broadband 3 dB Coupler Using Silicon-on-Insulator Fishbone-like Grating Waveguides

We report a novel 2 × 2 broadband 3 dB coupler based on fast adiabatic mode evolution with a compact footprint and large bandwidth. The working principle of the coupler is based on the rapid adiabatic evolution of local eigenmodes of fishbone-like grating waveguides. Different from a traditional adi...
