Abstract :
In this work, we demonstrate the first implementation of an integrated optical magic T. Such structure is designed to give, at the output, the sum and the difference of its two input optical signals using the multimode interference phenomena. The structure is fabricated using the ionic exchange technology on glass. The first obtained results verify the function of the magic T.
