Abstract
A metal-coated multimode interference (MMI) device is proposed and analyzed. Simulations show that due to its ideal mode spectrum and resulting enhanced imaging performance, the device has applications to low index contrast polymer waveguides. We demonstrate its feasibility by the design and simulation of a polymer channel waveguide MMI coated with Al. Experimental demonstration and application will be the next step for this design concept.
