Abstract :
A 0.4 dB excess loss, 0.01 dB output channel imbalance polymer 1 times 3 MMI power splitter is modeled having linearly tapered input section suitable for use in an optical backplane connector. The device design was additionally optimized using FD-BPM to have a good tolerance to source lateral misalignments
