Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an optical splitter including two waveguides on either side of an axis. Each waveguide includes a first segment and a second segment that are closer to the axis than the rest of the waveguide. The first segments are optically coupled and the second segments are optically coupled. Each guide includes between the first and second segment, starting from the first segment, a first curved section including in succession a curvature the concavity of which is turned the side opposite the axis then a curvature the concavity of which is turned towards the axis, and starting from the second segment a second curved section including in succession a curvature the concavity of which is turned the side opposite the axis then a curvature the concavity of which is turned towards the axis. The first curved sections of the two waveguides are curved differently.

Claim (Index 13):
An optical signal splitter, comprising:\n a first waveguide and a second waveguide, the first waveguide being formed on an a first side of an axis and the second waveguide being formed on a second side of the axis opposite the first side, each of the first and second waveguides including: a first segment and a second segment positioned closer to the axis than a remainder of the waveguide, the first segments of the first and second waveguides being optically coupled to one another and the second segments of the first and second waveguides being optically coupled one another; a first curved section extending from the first segment towards the second segment, the first curved section including a first curvature starting from the first segment and having a concavity opposite the axis and the first curved section including a second curvature starting from the first curvature and having a concavity towards the axis; and a second curved section extending from the second segment towards the first curved section, the second curved section including a third curvature starting from the second segment and having a concavity opposite the axis and the second curved section including a fourth curvature starting from the third curvature and having a concavity towards the axis, the second curved section having the fourth curvature being coupled to the first curved section having the second curvature at an orthogonal distance from the axis, wherein the orthogonal distance for the first waveguide is different than the orthogonal distance for the second waveguide.
