Different Configurations of Photonic Crystal Power Splitters for PIC's - A Review

摘要

Power splitter is one of the vital constituents in optical integrated circuits. Paper presents the previous research as well as the current scenario in the domain of photonic crystal based power splitters. From the literature survey it is clear that it is possible to design ultra-compact and highly efficient power splitters due to fascinating characteristics of photonic crystal materials. At the same time the paper also briefed the different designs of power splitters and the various methods to realize a power splitter with high output efficiency in the literature are also presented.
