Popis: In this paper is presented a new multi-mode interference MMI polarization splitter for Photonic Integrated Circuits PICs. It was designed using the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) commercial multilayer waveguide in Fe doped InP E1700. The central operation wavelength for what this device was designed is 1534 nm. This device can be very useful in the new communication networks for example it can be used as an upgrade in next generation passive optical networks that want to explore polarization diversity. The simulations reported in this paper point out to insertion losses of only 1.95 dB for Transverse Electric (TE) polarization and 1.23 dB for Transverse Magnetic (TM) polarization. It also is tolerant to wavelength variations having a 3 dB bandwidth of 28 nm.
