Abstract
A polarization-insensitive 1times2 multimode interference beam splitter based on sandwiched structures is proposed and investigated theoretically for the components of ultrasmall optical integrated circuits. Strong polarization dependencies arising in Si-wire waveguide systems are compensated by introducing sandwiched structures
