Abstract

Here we explore the limits of miniaturization of an efficient 90-degree hybrid coupler on the InP photonic integration platform, working in the L, C and S bands, with respect to their figures of merit. We investigate the main effects responsible for the degradation of the performance of the devices, and establish the minimal dimension that such devices can have without significant degradation for photonic applications. The miniaturized device has a footprint of only 2200µm², more than 5 times smaller than the conventional device used as reference.
