High-Performance and Compact Silicon Photonic 3-dB Adiabatic Coupler Based on Shortest Mode Transformer Method

A 2 × 2 3-dB coupler is one of the essential photonic components, as a building block of Mach-Zehnder interferometers, to realize large-scale photonic integrated circuits. Unlike typical 2 × 2 3-dB couplers based on direction couplers or multimode interference couplers, adiabat...
