A Y-branch optical power splitter based on the buried waveguide and the micro-prism waveguide bends is presented. The 132 splitter consists of a beam expanding region, a conventional Y-branch region, and two micro prisms providing large angle waveguide bends of device.
The 132 splitter are fabricated by first depositing a 10-£gm-thick PECVD oxide (SiO2) on Si s ubstrates. The guiding core of the device was fabricated by etching trenches in SiO2 cladding, and filled with Benzocyclobutene (BCB) polymer. After etch-back process, the thin layer of spin on glass (SOG) is used to further planarized the surface of the device. The propagation loss of the waveguide is 0.47dB/cm at £f=1.3£gm. The normalized power transmission efficiency of the 132 splitter as large as 3.7dB was obtained. Simulation results based on beam propagation method (BPM) of the splitter is also presented.
