Abstract

In this paper, to our knowledge, we introduce the 1×4 optical power splitter operating at 1550nm wavelength for the first time, based on multimode interference (MMI) coupler in slot silicon (Si)-Gallium Nitride (GaN) waveguide structure. Si and GaN were found as suitable materials for slot waveguide structure. Numerical optimizations were carried out on the device parameters using a Full vectorial-beam propagation method (FV-BPM). Simulation results show that the proposed device can be useful to divide optical signal energy uniformly in the C-band range (1530-1565nm) into four output ports with low insertion losses (0.07dB).
