Abstract

THz photonics range is a rapidly developing field of science with many practical applications in medicine, telecommunications, imaging, and others. From practical point of view many applications requires compact and multifunctional solutions, with a property of scalability. Such as in visible and infrared ranges photonic integrated circuits could solve given problem. In this work we are working on enlarging element base of purely silicon THz photonic integrated circuits. We consider 1x2 splitter based on multimode interferometer and its application for Mach-Zehnder interferometer on silicon integrated platform. Both devices on their own will find a huge number of applications in the THz range.
