Abstract
Multimode optical branching components are becoming essential in optical networks such as subscriber systems and local area networks.1 There is a problem, however, that the branching characteristic strongly depends on the excited modal distribution,2 and stable operation of multimode branching waveguides, therefore, has not been established.
