The Critical Adiabatic Linear Tapered Waveguide Combined with a Multimode Waveguide Coupler on an SOI Chip

Figure 2

(a) A basic 1 × 1 MMI combined with the input/output single-mode waveguide for width Ws = 0.4 μm and length Ls = 100 μm. (b) A linear tapered waveguide is inserted between the single-mode waveguide and MMI coupler. Width Wt, length Lt, and divergence angle θ describe the linear tapered waveguide.
