The operation of a four-channel multiplexer, utilizing multimode interference (MMI) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, can be designed through the cascading of MMI couplers or by employing angled MMI couplers. It provides low insertion loss, high channel isolation, wide pass band, low temperature sensitivity and epoxy free optical path. The designed hybrid (de)multiplexer includes a 4-channel. Wavelength division multiplexers are fundamental to the functioning and performance of integrated photonic circuits, with applications ranging from optical interconnects to sensing and quantum technologies. Current solutions are limited by trade-offs between channel spacing, crosstalk, insertion. In this example, we use the topology optimization feature from the inverse design toolbox lumopt to design a wavelength demultiplexer for 4 channels. We target a 10nm transmission band around the center wavelength of 1270nm, 1290m, 1310nm and 1330nm.
