Abstract

In this paper, we present a bidirectional interruption-free multimode waveguide coupler for optical bus systems on board and module level. The principle is based on directional core-core coupling and allows for adjustable coupling powers by tuning the overlap area. By adding a bending to one of the coupling partners, it is possible to obtain specific asymmetric coupling rates depending on the coupling direction (module to bus or vice versa). The proposed approach is extensively analyzed by optical simulation (beam propagation method) and measurements including experiments on the attenuation, the coupling rate, and the bit rate performance.
