Abstract
Ultracompact 3D Splitter for Single-Core to Multi-Core Optical Fiber Connections
In article number 2400089, Tigran Baghdasaryan and co-workers introduce an unprecedented 3D-printed splitter to tackle key interconnection challenges in the field of spatial division multiplexing. For the proof-of-concept 1 × 4 splitter, the pivotal element is a triangular cross-section 3D multimode interference coupler, complemented by S-bends and adiabatic tapers, allowing for an insertion loss of around 3 dB per channel and a remarkably short length of 180 µm.
