Abstract :
An InP-based 1*16 optical power splitter is demonstrated. The device has 250 mu m spaced output channels and a total length of 5.1 mm. This small size was realised by using a free-space radiative input-output coupling and specially designed 1.85 mm curvature S-bends. The worst case excess loss for TM and TE polarised light is 3 dB.
