Abstract
An optical coherent receiver includes a 90-degree optical hybrid configured to receive an input signal and a reference signal, and mix the input signal with four quadrature states associated with the reference signal to generate four output signals. The 90-degree optical hybrid includes a plurality of 3-dB couplers; and a plurality of optical waveguides, wherein each optical waveguide of the plurality of optical waveguides couples two respective 3-dB couplers of the plurality of 3-dB couplers, and wherein each optical waveguide of the plurality of optical waveguides has a same optical path length. Each optical waveguide of the plurality of optical waveguides is dimensioned according to a figure of merit (FoM) to reduce a phase error.
