AB Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) is currently under study due to its potentialto further increase data rates in optical communication circuits. In this paper, we proposean add/drop MDM for the first- and second-order modes that cover the whole C-Band(1.53–1.57  m). The device is based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer, including periodic waveguides in the arms. Mode selectivity is provided by means of the periodicwaveguides, which are designed to allow the propagation of the second mode and toreflect the first mode. The proposed device exhibits less than 1 dB insertion loss andmore than 30 dB extinction ratio in the whole C-Band. Furthermore, it presents widefabrication tolerances.
