Abstract

An integrated ratiometric wavelength monitor consisting of a Y-branch and a pair of symmetrical multimode interference structures (MMI) based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is investigated numerically. Two symmetrical MMIs are optimized in terms of width and length to achieve overlapping opposite slope spectral responses. The designed ratiometric structure demonstrates a suitable spectral response for wavelength measurement, with a high resolution over a 100 nm wavelength range.
