Abstract

A novel direct binary search algorithm based on rotation (RDBS) is proposed in this paper. A 1*2 ultra-compact 2.4*3.6µm2 multimode wavelength demultiplexer (DEMUX) is designed in reverse, which is roughly two orders of magnitude smaller than the size of a conventional waveguide device. It can simultaneously perform wavelength demultiplexing and mode conversion. This DEMUX separates the 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths while converting the input light from the fundamental transverse electric mode (TE0) to the first-order transverse electric mode (TE1). The simulation results using RDBS show that the insertion loss(IL) of the upper channel (wavelength 1310 nm) is −0.9644 dB, the IL of the lower channel (wavelength 1550 nm) is −0.9752 dB, and the crosstalk values(CT) are −10.079 dB and −9.261 dB, respectively.
