Particle Swarm Optimized Compact, Low Loss 3-dB Power Splitter Enabled by Silicon Columns in Silicon-on-Insulator

We demonstrate a 3-dB power splitter optimized by an enhanced particle swarm optimization algorithm based on a curved directional coupler, with a set of silicon columns introduced into the coupling region. The proposed device exhibits compact size, low loss and low wavelength dependence in the O-ban...
