Abstract
A novel three-layer double-bonded InP-InGaAsP waveguide vertical coupler 1: 8 beam splitter is demonstrated. The strongly coupled waveguides allow a 58 3-mum device length, more than 100 times shorter than that of the equivalen t horizontal coupler. The device illustrates the use of multiple vertical-l ayer optical interconnects for three-dimensional routing of optical signals .
