Both 1XN and 2XN splitters can be constructed in this fashion with as many as eight or more outputs, with both low return losses and low insertion losses. This design is extremely flexible, allowing one to use different fiber types on different ports, and different beam. Abstract—We present a novel compact asymmetric bent direc-tional coupler polarization beam splitter (PBS) fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform using third-order polynomial interconnected circular (TOPIC) bends. The TOPIC bend design provides continuous curvature and curvature. A frequency beam splitter (FBS) with the split ratio of 0. A FBS with the split ratio of 1 is exactly the coherent frequency converter (CFC) for frequency up or down conversion of photons. These exiting beams are differentiated by either their optical power (non-polarizing), polarization states (polarizing), or wavelength (dichroic).
