Abstract :
A new passive x-coupler waveguide optical device is proposed and its coupling behaviour in response to different wavelengths is studied using the beam propagation method. The coupling behaviour of 0.86 μm, 1.3 μm and 1.55 μm wavelengths in this silica-based waveguide coupler is different for each wavelength. The device can behave as a WDM multiplexer, where each wavelength automatically selects its own output arm
