Abstract :
The authors propose a miniature semiconductor optical power splitter with a submicrometre wide input aperture enhancing lightwave diffraction in a planar free-space region. They present its design and have demonstrated a GaInAs-GaAs quantum well laser with a miniature 1×20 power splitter inside the laser cavity
