Scalable and Low Crosstalk Silicon Mode Exchanger for Mode Division Multiplexing System Enabled by Inverse Design

In this paper, we design and experimentally demonstrate a two-mode and three-mode mode exchanger (ME) using an inverse design method. The designed MEs provide more flexibility for mode division multiplexing (MDM) system links. The optimized designs are compact, 16&#x2009;&#x03BC;m<sup>...
