Provided is an optical wavelength coupler using a multi-mode interference.
The optical wavelength coupler is a planar waveguide type optical device
that can distribute or couple two optical signals having different
wavelengths by using the multi-mode interference. The optical wavelength
coupler is suitable for integration and is small-sized. Also, the optical
wavelength coupler has a low manufacturing tolerance and a low loss, and
is insensitive to TE/TM polarization.
