Compact wavelength splitters based on angled multimode interferometers (AMMIs) on silicon nitride platforms working in visible lights are reported for fluorescence sensing applications. A diplexer and triplexer with different footprints are designed and experimentally demonstrated. The diplexer and triplexer have the insertion loss of ∼1.7 and ∼2.7 dB/channel with cross talks of less than -22 dB and -17 dB on target wavelengths, respectively. These splitters are used to distinguish the signals collected from two fluorescent dyes that give different emission spectra when excited with an excitation source, due to their different Stokes shifts. In the case of the triplexer, a third port is to collect the excitation light, both to monitor the remaining excitation power and to reduce the interference at the signal ports. A termination structure at the end of the AMMIs and input and output tapering waveguides as a part of the wavelength splitters are designed and their performances are presented.

Structured beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) provide powerful capabilities for applications in optical tweezers, super-resolution imaging, quantum optics, and ad-vanced microparticle manipulation. However, it is challenging for generate and control the OAM beams at the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) region due to the lack of suitable wave front shaping optics arise from being limited to the strong absorption of most materials. Here, we use a modified Fermat-spiral photon-sieve splitter to simultaneously generate two focused doughnut beams with opposite helical phase.

Topological edge state (TES) has emerged as a significant research focus in photonics due to its unique property of unidirectional transmission. This feature provides immunity to certain structural disorders or perturbations, greatly improving the robustness of photonic systems and enabling various applications such as optical isolation and topological lasers. Nevertheless, most of current researches focus on the fixed generated TES with no means to control, leaving untapped potential for manipulating the TES through specific methods.

Today's precision experiments for timekeeping, inertial sensing, and fundamental science place strict requirements on the spectral distribution of laser frequency noise. Rubidium-based experiments utilize table-top 780 nm laser systems for high-performance clocks, gravity sensors, and quantum gates. Wafer-scale integration of these lasers is critical for enabling systems-on-chip.

A proper choice of the device parameters enables to split the input beam into a combination of different guided modes of the multimode waveguide, minimizing radiation and reflection losses that amount to ∼ 0.4 dB in our experiments.
