  • Abstract
    Optical switches based on multimode interference (MMI) couplers can reduce footprint and increase tolerance against fabrication deviations. Furthermore, a 50% power consumption reduction has been demonstrated by designing a trenched MMI for thermal isolation without penalizing insertion losses and crosstalk.
