An N*N optical multiplexer using a planar arrangement of two star couplers
Abstract
The author describes the design of an integrated N*N multiplexer capable of simultaneously multiplexing and demultiplexing a large number (up to about 50) of input and output wavelength channels. The multiplexer is a generalization of the 2*2 Mach-Zehnder multiplexer. It consists of two N*M star couplers connected by M paths of unequal length. Aberrations caused by mutual coupling in the waveguide arrays are minimized by a correction scheme that causes each star coupler to accurately perform a Fourier transformation. The multiplexer should be useful as a wavelength routing device for long haul and local area networks.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
