Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have shown that an InP/InGaAsP 1x8 multimode interference (MMI) splitter shows good performance at power splitting in a wide wavelength range around centered wavelength. From the experimental results, the dominant factor that affects on the splitter performance is the MMI splitter width. The incident light mode or wavelength does not sensitively act on power splitting in MMI.
