Abstract :
Reports a novel design for optical waveguide symmetric Y-junctions using two abrupt-bend structures with relatively large tilt angles. The proposed Y-junction has a relatively low refractive index region operating as a phase-front accelerator and is shown to have loss significantly reduced in comparison with a conventional Y-junction with a large branching angle
