Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing a multimode splitting structure that divides a multimode wide waveguide into multiple narrower waveguides for photodetector connections in an optoelectronic system are disclosed. The optoelectronic system includes an optical filter, a multimode splitter, and a plurality of photodetector. The optical filter is communicatively coupled to a first waveguide to receive an optical signal and configured to demultiplex the optical signal onto a plurality of second waveguides based on different wavelengths. The multimode splitter is adapted to divide each of the plurality of second waveguides into a plurality of third waveguides. Each of the plurality of photodetector is adapted to be connected to each of the plurality of the third waveguide.
