Abstract
This paper reviews the basic of multimode
interference (MMI) coupler and its application in
optics, especially for optical switching. We have
demonstrated the design & performance of 2 x 2 MMI
coupler based all optical switch of lesser dimensions
than conventional structures. This structure is based on
special multimode region shape, which leads switch to
have less coupling loss & lesser cross talk. The
variations of the refractive indices of various sections to
achieve switching actions are kept in the range of 1-2%.
In later part, the proposed switch is used for design &
analysis of higher order switches (4x4 & 8x8 switches)
using Banyan, Benus and Spanky- Benus architectures.
