            Abstract : 
The phase from quasi-decoupled hybrid plasmon and coupled bending regions of Mach-Zehnder directional couplers was characterized for broadband optical power dividers. The splitting ratios demonstrated within 8% variation across 200-nm bandwidth using 400-nm quasi-decoupler spacing.
