The device consists of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and a multimode interferometer (MMI), which utilizes silicon material for photonic integrated circuits (PIC). By setting appropriate values for the two butterfly-shaped phase shifters (PSs) at MZI and MMI, the input mode, either transverse electric (TE) modes TE0 or TE1, can be routed to the desired output among the three output ports. The device is designed and optimized via three-dimensional beam propagation method (3D BPM). The proposed device achieves very low insertion loss and small cross-talk, which are less than 0.4 dB and -24.5 dB, respectively, over the whole C band. %U http://ict.jst.udn.vn/index.php/jst/article/view/128 %J Journal of Science and Technology: Issue on Information and Communications Technology %0 Journal Article %R 10.31130/ict-ud.2021.128 %P 22-27%V 19 %N 6.2 %@ 1859-1531 %8 2021-06-29
