Add/Drop Mode-Division Multiplexer Based on a Mach–Zehnder Interferometer and Periodic Waveguides

Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is currently under study due to its potential to further increase data rates in optical communication circuits. In this paper, we propose an add/drop MDM for the first- and second-order modes that cover the whole C-Band (1.53-1.57 μm). The device is based...
