We present a design approach for realizing on-chip wavelength division demultiplexing (WDD) schemes by integrating all-dielectric metasurfaces of TiO2 nanorod arrays into a SiN waveguide. The designed metasurface locally modifies the effective refractive index of the SiN waveguide, creating an effective WDD that selectively passes a certain band of wavelengths into a specific output port. A set of representative 2-channel and 3-channel WDDs schemes were demonstrated for input TE00/TM00 modes and operating in different bands, showing the flexibility of our design approach. The proposed WDD schemes are compatible with visible to infrared wavelengths, photolithography-based fabrication, high efficiency with maximum transmission of 91%, and a small footprint at a few microns. Our design method paves the way for realizing several on-chip integrated devices for applications in optical data processing and biological sensing.
