Singhal, R.Satyanarayan, M.N.Pal, S.2020-03-312020-03-312010Fiber and Integrated Optics, 2010, Vol.29, 6, pp.480-490https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/10838Polymer residues are generally left in the Y-junctions of the conventional splitters. Besides increased insertion loss, the Y-junction residue results in asymmetric distribution of power at device outputs. An analysis of the device performance in the presence of junction residue is presented and a design to overcome the non-uniformities in output power distribution brought about by the presence of the residue is proposed.
