Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to an optical device (10) comprising a coupler (20) having coupler inputs (I1, I2) and coupler outputs (O1-O4), and a connection network (30), wherein said connection network comprises connecting waveguides (41-44) which connect said coupler outputs with outputs of the connection network (O1′-O4′), and wherein at least one connecting waveguide of the connection network crosses at least one other connecting waveguide of the connection network. At least one connecting waveguide (42-44), which crosses other connecting waveguides less often than the connecting waveguide (41) with the maximum number of crossings with other connecting waveguides, is attenuated by an optical attenuation element (81-84, 91-94).

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a system comprising an optical device (10) and an evaluation device (20) for characterizing the optical device. The optical device comprising a 90° optical hybrid unit (30) having a first and second optical input (30E1, 30E2) and at least two optical outputs (30A1-30A4) wherein optical output signals (So1-So4) leaving the optical outputs have optical phase differences between each other of 90° or multiple thereof; a first photodetector (P1) connected to a first optical output (30A1) and a second photodetector (P2) connected to a second optical output (30A2), wherein the first optical output emits a first optical output signal (So1) and the second optical output emits a second optical output signal (So2), said second optical output signal having an optical phase difference of 180° relative to the first optical output signal; and a first transimpedance amplifier (Tr1) connected to the first and second photodetectors (P1, P2). The evaluation device (20) is characterized by a signal source (110) configured to generate a first and second intensity-modulated optical input signal (Sin1, Sin2); an optical phase shifter (120) adapted to phase-shift the optical phase of the second intensity-modulated optical input signal relative to the optical phase of the first intensity-modulated optical input signal; a measurement unit (160) adapted to measure the electrical output signal of the first transimpedance amplifier (Tr1); and a control unit (130) adapted to control the optical phase shifter.
