Description:
The file 'Dataset_for_broadband_MIR_MMI_2021.xlsx' contains all simulation and experimental data.

Fig.2: Simulated performance of the SWG-MMI with optimal dimensions: no residual layer, width = 7.7um, 50% duty cycle and 52 periods.
Fig.3: Measured MZI transmission spectrum and the fitted model, for (a) the SWG-MMI and (b) the conventional MMI centred at approximately 3.4um wavelength.
Fig.4: (a) The imbalance; (b) insertion loss; (c) phase error of the SWG and conventional MMIs calculated from the measured MZI transmission spectra.
