Abstract

A compact and broadband optical 90° hybrid based on a 2×4 multimode interference (MMI) coupler using the Si₃N₄ technology is proposed. The effects of MMI length, width, and wavelength on optical power transmission are investigated. With the length of 217 μm for the 2×4 MMI coupler, this optical 90° hybrid shows a maximum phase error of 5°, an excess loss of 1 dB, and a transmission imbalance of 1 dB over a 75-nm-wide wavelength range.
