Abstract

In photonic label routing networks, recognition of optical labels is one of the key functions. We have proposed passive waveguide-type devices for recognition of optical labels coded in quadri-phase-shift-keying (QPSK) form. In this paper, we consider wavelength dependence of the devices. The basic module of the proposed device consists of a 3-dB directional coupler, two Y-junctions, and an asymmetric X-junction. The Y-junction and an asymmetric X-junction have basically no wavelength dependence. Although the 3-dB directional coupler has weak wavelength dependence, the device for two-symbol label recognition is found to work in wavelength 1.5-1.6µm. The performance of the device is confirmed by simulation using beam propagation method (BPM).
