摘要
Optical couplers are the key components for signal distribution in optoelectronic transmitters and receivers. A new low-loss, large-angle Y-junction hybrid polymer optical coupler with an integrated microprism has been fabricated and demonstrated experimentally for use in a mixed-signal module environment. The results show that the radiation loss is small with relatively wide branching angle as compared to a conventional Y-junction coupler.
