Nonvolatile and ultra-low-loss reconfigurable mode (De)multiplexer/switch using triple-waveguide coupler with Ge2Sb2Se4Te1 phase change material

Abstract Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is a promising approach to dramatically enhance the transmission capacity. A reconfigurable mode (De)multiplexer/switch (RMDS) is a key component for the flexible mode routing in the MDM network. A nonvolatile and ultra-low-loss RMDS is proposed via a triple...
