This paper reviews the on-chip beam splitting methods in recent years, which are mainly divided into the following categories: y-branch, multimode interference coupling, directional coupling, and inverse design. Explore the precision, applications, and design principles of beam splitters, essential for advancements in scientific research and technology. Beam splitters are integral optical components that divide a beam of light into two or more separate beams. In its. Key Laboratory of Ultra-Weak Magnetic Field Measurement Technology, Ministry of Education, School of Instrumentation and Optoelectronic Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, China 2. One of the biggest challenges for modeling such a system is that multiple ray paths cannot be simultaneously traced in Sequential Mode.
