Abstract:
A multimode interferometer includes: a multimode waveguide mesa having a top face extending in a direction of a first axis, a first side face and a second side face that extend in the direction of the first axis, and a first end face and a second end face that are arranged in the direction of the first axis; and a waveguide mesa connected to the first end face at a port; first and second waveguide mesas connected to first and second ports on the second end face. The multimode waveguide mesa has a first side edge line shared by the top face and the first side face, and an end line shared by the top face and the first end face. The first side edge line forms an acute angle with the end line at an outer vertex where the first side edge line and the end line meet.

Claim (Index 5):
A Mach-Zehnder modulator comprising:\n a first arm waveguide mesa; a second arm waveguide mesa; a waveguide mesa; and a divider optically coupled to the first arm waveguide mesa, the second arm waveguide mesa, and the waveguide mesa, the divider including a multimode waveguide mesa, the multimode waveguide mesa having a top face extending in a direction of a first axis, a first side face and a second side face that extend in the direction of the first axis, and a first end face and a second end face that are arranged in the direction of the first axis, the multimode waveguide mesa being connected to the waveguide mesa at a port on the first end face, the multimode waveguide mesa being connected to the first arm waveguide mesa at a first port on the second end face, the multimode waveguide mesa being connected to the second arm waveguide mesa at a second port on the second end face, the multimode waveguide mesa having a first side edge line shared by the top face and the first side face of the multimode waveguide mesa, and a rear edge line shared by the top face and the first end face of the multimode waveguide mesa, the first side edge line and the rear edge line meeting at an outer vertex, and the first side edge line forming an acute angle with the rear edge line at the outer vertex.
