Multimode interference (MMI) devices are widely used in planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The device length can be well reduced with tapered multimode region. Traditional design formula shows large error for MMI devices based on weakly- restricted waveguide. Based on the analysis with mode width as a substitution of waveguide width, a design formula with better precision was presented. Comparison with software simulation verified its exactness.
