Abstract
In this study, wavelength-free $1{\times}N$ optical splitter using a tapered polymer waveguide was studied to realize the transmission network of high-speed information communication network. Based on the evaluation of mode converting characteristics of splitter having two tapered multi-mode interference structures, an optimized structure of the $1{\times}N$ splitter was proposed for wide-range of input wavelength. 2D-BPM analysis $1{\times}8$ model showed that insertion loss of the proposed splitter is less than 10 dB for wavelength of input source from 1260 nm to 1650 nm.
