In this work, we presented the 2D MMl couplers as a basic component for 3D integrated optics. Two basic applications of the 2D MMl, the power splitter and 3D MMl PHASAR, are studied and compared to their planar equivalent. The simulations show an appreciable performance enhancement in both cases. These promising devices open the door to multilevel integrated optical circuits with higher packing density and better performance.

Losses still occur in the fibres developed for commercial use. Nonetheless, these have been reduced to a point where transmission over kilometres is possible. Along with transmission of information in telephone systems and similar applications, it has been suggested that optical devices may replace conventional electronics in more advanced applications such as computers. For such applications, it will be necessary to develop optical switches, amplifiers, and so on. In the last two decades, new materials have been developed that may form the basis of integrated optical circuits. These materials are photonic crystals.

Optical Switches In telecommunication, an optical switch is a switch that enables signals in optical fibers or integrated optical circuits (lOCs) to be selectively switched from one circuit to another. In biology, there are several...

Stacked planar optics, a new concept in integrating optical circuits, has been proposed. By using stacked planar optics, we not only make possible the monolithic fabrication of optical circuits, such as the directional coupler and wavelength demultiplexer, but we can also construct three-dimensional optical circuits by allowing coupling among individual components in the array with a suitable design. 

The ability to achieve ultrafast nonlinear optical response in a nonabsorbing material is crucial in applications such as all-optical switches and other nonlinear devices for integrated optical circuits. In a conventional Fabry-Perot...
