Abstract

The proposed structure consists of a vertical power splitter that divides the fiber coupled optical input among the vertical layers. Modulators on each layer share a common intermediate ground plane which provides electrical isolation. We will present preliminary beam propagation simulation, fabrication, and experimental results including the required drive voltages, crosstalk, and insertion losses of the individual modulators.
