This paper reports design of a simple four-branch optical power splitter using five parallel rectangular waveguides coupling in a gallium-nitride (GaN) semiconductor/sapphire for telecommunication links. The optimisation was conducted using the 3D FD-BPM method for long wavelength optical communication. The result shows that, at propagation length of 925 μm, the optical power input was successfully split into four uniform output beams, each with 24% of total input power. It is also shown that the relative output power distribution is almost stable through the C-band range. At the operating wavelength of 1.55 μm, the proposed power splitter has an excess loss lower than 0.2 dB. This study demonstrates the opportunity to develop optical interconnections from UV-Visible to near IR wavelengths.

Purpose. To compare the results of trifocal IOL calculation using various corneal tomographic data (ring and zone). Methods. This retrospective study involved 46 patients (46 eyes), underwent cataract surgery with trifocal IOL implantation (AcrySof IQ PanOptix). The calculation was performed using Tomey OA-2000 according to 2 formulas (Barrett II Universal, Olsen). Keratometry values included Km (the average of two main meridians of a cornea) provided by Pentacam HR Power Distribution Apex map, which describes total corneal refractive power (TCRP) with diameter of 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 mm on a ring and zone. Mean (MAE) and median (MedAE) predicted postoperative refraction errors were assessed after surgery. Results. Mean Km value on 3 mm zone and ring was: 42.75±1,46 D and 42,91±1,43 D, respectively (p<0,0001). Mean Km on 4 mm zone and ring was: 42.6±1.5 D and 43.3 ± 1.5 D, respectively (p <0.005). Mean Km value on 5 mm zone and ring was: 43,09±1,5 D and 43,55±1,48 D, respectively (p<0,0001). Calculations using the Barrett II Universal formula revealed significant difference between MAE and MedAE of the predicted postoperative refraction on 5mm zone and ring (p=0.045). When using the Olsen formula in the calculations, significant difference was revealed using the Km data with a diameter of 3 mm and 5 mm (p=0.001 и p=0.009, respectively). The calculation on 3 mm ring was more accurate than for 3 mm zone. With a 5 mm diameter, the calculation is more accurate according to the zone data. Conclusion. Mean Km value on Power Distribution Apex map according to ring is significantly greater then according to zone. 1) The calculation of the trifocal IOL based on the TCRP zone data is reliably more accurate than the ring data according to both formulas (Barrett II Universal and Olsen) with a diameter of 5 mm. 2) According to the Olsen formula with a diameter of 3 mm, the calculation of the optical power of trifocal IOL based on TCRP ring data is more accurate. Key words: IOL calculation, Trifocal IOL, corneal topography

SummaryWhen two different multimode fibers are jointed together, mode mixing and mode filtering take place, with different characteristics in the two directions, leading to a non-symmetric behaviour. A detailed analysis of the power transitions among the guided modes at the joint is presented here. Explicit formulas for coupling efficiency and intermodal dispersion compensation are derived. The intentional mode mixing which is produced by suitable beam-launchers, in order to reach an optical power distribution independent of that of the optical source, is also investigated.
