Abstract

We review the reduction of losses in Y-branch waveguides using the phase-front accelerator (PFA) design. The use of the PFA design helps not only in reducing the junction loss significantly, but also in achieving faster settling lengths, multi-branch equal power dividers, and in improving the range of power splitting ratios in integrated optical proportional beam splitters.
