摘要
An In P-based monolithically integrated few-mode transmitter aiming at the combination of wavelength division multiplexing（WDM） and mode division multiplexing（MDM） technologies is proposed. The core elements of the proposed transmitter are mode converters and a wavelength-mode division multiplexer that are all based on multimode interference（MMI） couplers. Simulations show that the wavelength-mode division multiplexer has a large fabrication tolerance of 30 and 0.5 μm for the length and the width of the device, respectively.A low loss below 0.26 dB for the passive parts of the transmitter is obtained in the whole C-band wavelength range.
