A directional coupler serves as an essential passive component in integrated photonic systems, allowing precise splitting or combining of optical signals between two closely positioned waveguides. Our method enables a broadband and precise characterization of the directional couplers' splitting ratio. We experimen-tally validate this approach, demonstrate its robustness against intentional errors, and compare it to a naive di-rect measurement method. Its functionality depends on evanescent field coupling, where the exponentially decaying.
