The application provides a star
waveguide and an
optical fiber communication
system, wherein the star
waveguide comprises a silica cladding layer, a central
waveguide and a plurality of
satellite waveguides arranged in the silica cladding layer; the central waveguide is used for receiving input light, and is arranged in a cuboid structure, and the propagation direction of the input light is parallel to the length direction of the central waveguide; the plurality of
satellite waveguides are arranged in the silica cladding layer, and are arranged in a cuboid structure; the
satellite waveguides are arranged on both sides of the central waveguide in the width direction, and are arranged on both sides of the central waveguide in the height direction; the plurality of satellite waveguides are arranged in parallel with the central waveguide in the propagation direction of the input light; the plurality of satellite waveguides are coupled by the central waveguide through evanescent
waves, the
coupling efficiency of the plurality of satellite waveguides is the same, and the input light coupled out is output by the plurality of satellite waveguides. The star waveguide can replace a
beam splitter, so that the loss is reduced.
