A multimode interference-based variable power splitter in GaAs-AlGaAs

Bent multimode interference-based variable power splitters are experimentally demonstrated in GaAs-AlGaAs using the principles of general imaging. Simulations are used to investigate sensitivities to device geometry. Results indicate that the device's splitting ratio performance is largely fabrication tolerant.
