The impacts of geometrical parameters and doping concentration are explored for the corresponding dispersion characteristics. By systematically adjusting diverse fiber parameters, it becomes evident that alterations in the curve slope discrepancies between the effective index of the central core and the outer ring directly influence both the optical dispersion peak and bandwidth. Consequently, the optical dispersion characteristics of the designed fiber can be customized to meet specific requirements by adjusting both fiber geometry and doping concentration of germanium dioxide. Further refinement of the fiber’s geometric parameters results in achieving a negative chromatic dispersion value of -203,898 ps/(nm\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$cdot $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 km) at 1547.9 nm.

Among the various approaches, multimode interference (MMI) waveguides are widely employed in optical splitters due to their broad bandwidth, high fabrication tolerance, stability, efficient light confinement, and low transmission loss. In this study, we present the design of an optical splitter based on restricted interference mechanisms, where the precise positioning of input pairs and careful adjustment of the MMI region length are key factors. By applying interference theory, we successfully reduce the length of the RI-MMI coupler. The design undergoes extensive optimization through rigorous 3D-FDTD simulations to ensure optimal performance. Subsequently, we fabricated 11 chip designs using 193-nm deep ultraviolet (DUV) photolithography and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) processes. Performance measurements, conducted through subwavelength grating couplers (SWGC), reveal that our optimized design achieves very low insertion loss (IL) (<5> <tex-math>$lt -23$ </tex-math></inline-formula> dB) across the entire C-band. Additionally, the devices exhibit low ripple, a nearly input-independent coupling ratio (CR), and balanced splitting ratios within a 10 nm range centered around 1555 nm to 1565 nm.
