Abstract
A novel triple-layer structure grating for a two-branch splitter is proposed, which can obtain the 50/50 output with the
polarization-independent property. Based on the simplified modal method and rigorous coupled-wave analysis, the
parameters of the grating can be obtained. With optimized grating parameters, the efficiencies of TE polarization in the 0th
and -1st orders are 49.56% and 49.45%, respectively, and the efficiencies of TM polarization in the 0th and -1st orders are
49.26% and 49.20%, respectively. Moreover, such a triple-layer grating has broad angular bandwidths for both TE and TM
polarizations and a wide bandwidth of incident wavelength for TE polarization.
