Abstract:
A mode-matched waveguide Y-junction with balanced or unbalanced splitting comprises an input waveguide, expanding from an input end to an output end, for expanding the input beam of light along a longitudinal axis; first and second output waveguides extending from the output end of the input waveguide separated by a gap. Ideally, each of the first and second output waveguides includes an initial section capable of supporting a fundamental super mode, and having an inner wall substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a mode splitting section extending from the initial section at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis.

Claim (Index 32):
The method according to  claim 21 , expanding the second output beam in the initial section of the second output waveguide, while maintaining a constant width of the first output beam in the initial section of the first output waveguide to create an imbalance in the power distribution in the first and second output waveguides.
