| Popis: | We describe how multimode interference couplers (MMI) may be used to broaden and flatten the passband of integrated wavelength-dispersive filters. We discuss the approach and demonstrate its effectiveness with a passband-broadened InP arrayed waveguide filter operating at 1.5 /spl mu/m. |
