Abstract:
An optical circuit capable of operating as a 90° optical hybrid includes a phase-symmetric optical splitter and a 90° optical splitter, and two 2×2 optical couplers as optical combiners. The input ports of the optical combiners and the output ports of the optical splitters face a common area therebetween, with the optical splitters interposed between optical combiners as viewed along the circumference of the common area. The output ports of each optical splitter is connected to closest input ports of the optical combiners with optical waveguides of a same length. The length of the waveguides may be minimized when the optical couplers and the optical splitters are disposed in a cross-like configuration.

Claim (Index 26):
The optical circuit of  claim 25 , wherein the four optical waveguides comprise:\n first and second optical waveguides of equal length, each connecting one of the two output ports of one of the two optical splitters to a closest input port of the two optical combiners, and third and fourth optical waveguides of equal length, each connecting one of the two output ports of the other of the two optical splitters to a closest input port of the two optical combiners.
