Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated photonic circuit, comprising multimode optical couplers orderly spaced in close proximity to each other forming an optical coherent array such as an optical phased array or an optical coherent receiver array. The integrated photonic circuit further comprises a multiple number of mode converters and multiple sets of single mode optical waveguides. Here, a mode converter is connected to a multimode optical coupler and to a corresponding set of single mode optical waveguides. Further, the mode converter is arranged for converting a multimode signal propagating from the multimode optical coupler into a plurality of single modes each individually propagating into the single mode optical waveguides, or for converting a plurality of single modes individually propagating from the single mode optical waveguides into a multimode signal propagating into the multimode optical coupler.
