Tidy3D Modeling of Exceptional Coupling for Waveguide Crosstalk Reduction
Current technological trends emphasize the dense integration of photonic components on a chip. However, as the proximity between these components increases, the issue of crosstalk becomes more significant and detrimental. Therefore, photonic engineers need to apply other design ideas to actively minimize the crosstalk. The research group led by Professor Sangsik Kim utilized anisotropic metamaterial cladding to achieve a remarkable reduction of crosstalk by leveraging exceptional coupling. Their novel designs have led to subsequent publications in Optica and Light: Science...
