摘 要:A novel symmetrical chirped beam splitter based on a binary blazed grating is proposed, which adopts the fully-etched grating structure compatible with the current fabrication facilities for CMOS technology and convenient for integration and manufacture process. This structure can realize nearly equal-power splitting operation under the condition of TE polarization incidence. When the absolutely normal incidence occurs at the wavelength of 1580 nm, the coupling efficiencies of the left and the right branches are 43.627% and 43.753%, respectively. Moreover, this structure has the tolerances of 20 nm in etched depth and 3?in incident angle, which is rather convenient to manufacture facility.
