Abstract
The wavelength demultiplexer (deWMUX) is an indispensable component for the wavelength diversity system. In this paper, we propose a subwavelength-grating-assisted ${{1}} \times {{2}}$ deWMUX based on the principle of multimode interference, which aims to output 1.55 and 2 µm wavelengths from two different channels. The simulation results show that the contrast of the designed deWMUX at both wavelengths is greater than 24 dB, the insertion loss is less than 0.5 dB, and the 1 dB bandwidth is wider than 100 nm. In addition, the manufacturing tolerances of the device are also studied.
