Compact Optical Splitter - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18142729 titled 'Compact Optical Splitter
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for optical splitters and systems that use them.
- The optical splitter consists of an input waveguide, a free propagation region, and multiple output waveguides.
- The output waveguides are connected to the free propagation region at different output ports.
- The output ports are positioned along a non-circular path.
- The output waveguides have the same width.
- The patent application provides a new design for optical splitters that can efficiently split optical signals.
Original Abstract Submitted
Optical splitters and system and methods utilizing optical splitters are disclosed. The optical splitter may include an input waveguide, a free propagation region, and a plurality output waveguides. The output waveguides are connected to the free propagation region at a corresponding plurality of output ports that are positioned along a non-circular path. The output ports may be positioned such that the output waveguides have the same width.
