Optofluidic microparticle splitters using multimode-interference-based power splitters

We demonstrate a microparticle splitter using a silicon nitride multimode-interference-based 1×2 power splitter. The 1μm-sized polystyrene particles are routed to the two output-ports with various branching ratios upon tuning the laser wavelength.
