    摘要: Waveguide array optical power splitters that provide compact, low-cost implementation of optical power splitting for one and two dimensional optical waveguide arrays are disclosed. The optical power splitters do not introduce mode dependent loss and preserve polarization, enabling the optical power splitters to be used with multimode and single mode light sources. In one aspect, an optical power splitter includes a beamsplitter to receive a plurality of incident beams of light. The beamsplitter splits each incident beam of light into a plurality of output beams of light with each output beam output in a different direction from the beamsplitter. The optical power splitter includes a first set of lenses with each lens to approximately collimate one of the incident beams of light, and includes a second set of lenses with each lens to focus the output beams of light.
