ABSTRACT:
An optical device is provided which includes a slab waveguide and at least one input waveguide coupled to a first side of the slab waveguide. The device also includes a plurality of output waveguides coupled to a second side of the slab waveguide. The slab waveguide has a segmented transition region that includes a plurality of waveguiding regions spaced apart from one other by at least one discrete sector.
