We study that the different-mode (waveguide-connected) power splitter [(W)PS] can provide different-mode testing points for the optical testing. With the PS or WPS providing two different-mode testing points, the measured insertion losses (ILs) of the three-channel and dual-mode waveguide crossing (WC) for both the fundamental transverse electric (TE₀) and TE₁ modes are less than 1.8 dB or 1.9 dB from 1 540 nm to 1 560 nm. At the same time, the crosstalks (CTs) are lower than −17.4 dB or −18.2 dB. The consistent test results indicate the accuracy of the (W)PS-based testing circuit. Additionally, combining the tunable tap couplers, the (W)PS can provide multiple testing points with different modes and different transmittances.
