Thermo-optic reconfigurable three-mode (de)multiplexer based on an asymmetrical horizontal directional coupler
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a thermo-optic reconfigurable three-mode (de)multiplexer based on an asymmetrical horizontal three-waveguide directional coupler that includes two identical single-mode waveguides and a three-mode waveguide. Over the whole wavelength range of 1540-1560 nm, and for the TE (TM) polarization, our typical fabricated device with polymer material shows coupling efficiencies as high as 94% (93%) and 93% (92%) for the mode conversions of L P 01-L P 11 and L P 01-L P 11 , with the heating powers of 53.57 mW and 71.19 mW, respectively. Our proposed device can be employed in the fields of reconfigurable mode-division multiplexing systems.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
