Abstract
A photonic device for splitting optical beams includes an input port configured to receive an input beam having an input power, a power splitter including perturbation segments arranged in a first region and a second region of a guide material having a first refractive index, each segment having a second refractive index, wherein the first region is configured to split the input beam into a first beam and a second beam, wherein and the second region is configured to separately guide the first and second beams, wherein the first refractive index is greater than the second refractive index, and output ports including first and second output ports connected the power splitter to respectively receive and transmit the first and second beams.
