Abstract

A method and mode conversion waveguide system for converting a mode of a light is provided. The light is sent through a single mode waveguide, wherein the light has a first mode while traveling through single mode waveguide. The light is sent from the single mode waveguide into a multimode interference region having connected to the single mode waveguide. The light is reflected with a cavity within the multimode interference region in a manner that causes the light to propagate away from the single mode waveguide. The light is output from multimode interference region, wherein the light has a second mode.
