[Skripsi ini membahas tentang disain 3 dB Y-junction Power Splitter berbasis
GaN/Al2O3 (Sapphire) untuk konfigurasi rib dan ridge waveguide. Disain dilakukan
menggunakan perangkat lunak OptiBPM 12 free trial. Dari hasil simulasi dengan
kriteria single mode ditunjukan bahwa Y-junction Power Splitter terbaik, yaitu low loss
dan distribusi medan optik yang uniform, diperoleh saat sudut antara dua cabang 0,1o,
pada posisi pandu gelombang 0,8 μm di atas sapphire (untuk rib waveguide) dan 0,55
μm di atas sapphire (untuk ridge waveguide), untuk lebar dan ketebalan pandu
gelombang berturut-turut 3,1 μm dan >0,8 μm, ketebalan buffer layer 0,55 μm, serta
indeks bias dan ketebalan material cladding sebesar 2,12 dan 8,8 μm., In this final project, I’m designing GaN/Al2O3 (Sapphire) based 3 dB Y-junction Power
Splitter. There are two configurations used in the simulation, which are rib waveguide
and ridge waveguide. Based on the data acquired for single mode criteria, the optimal
design, which is low loss and uniform optical distribution, is achieved by adjusting the
angle of Y-junction to 0.1o with the position of waveguide is 0.8 μm above the sapphire
(rib waveguide) and 0.55 μm above the sapphire (ridge waveguide) for the width and
thickness of waveguide consecutively are 3.1 μm and more than 0.8 μm, the thickness
of buffer layer used is 0.55 μm while the refractive index and the thickness of cladding
used are 2.12 and 8.8 μm.]
