A numerical simulation design of a three mode-3-DB power splitter based on soi waveguides for applications in overlapping photonic neural networks

In this paper, we present a numerical simulation design of a 1:2 power splitter optical circuit with an evenly distributed 50:50 splitting ratio for all three modes simultaneously. The proposed design is based on the SOI material platform with wafers having a silicon layer thickness of 220nm, in accordance with VLSI chip manufacturing technology standards.
