- © 2019 IEEE.Currently, silicon photonics has emerged as feasible solution to develop novel and efficient devices, to substitute those electronic components in telecommunications and computer devices that have reached their physical limits in terms of area, energy, speed and bandwidth, which impact in the total cost of manufacturing. In this paper, a simulation performance evaluation of two small splitters/combiners are presented, where their corresponding size is about 1.55¿ m and 1.38¿m with a 450nm of waveguide width, by taking care about the manufacturing rules. The performance of these devices are compared against to a modified version of one of the smallest splitters/combiners that exist nowadays in the literature.
