A Silicon-Waveguide Polarization Converter with a Metal Strip on an SiO2 Substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polarization converter consisting of a silicon waveguide is analyzed by the imaginary-distance beam propagation method based on Yee’s mesh and the finite-difference timedomain method. It is revealed at a wavelength of 1.55 μm that the polarization conversion length is 15.1 μm with an insertion loss of 0.47 dB. An extinction ratio of more than 20 dB is obtained over a wavelength range of 1.53 to 1.57 μm.

متن کاملGroup velocities in coplanar strip transmission lines on Si and Si/SiO2/Si substrates measured using differential electro-optic sampling
The group velocities in coplanar strip transmission lines on Si and Si/SiO2/Si substrates were compared experimentally and theoretically. To ensure the experimental accuracy, a differential electro-optic sampling system with a delay-time resolution of 30 fs and a spatial resolution of 1 mm has been developed. Compared with the group velocity on a Si substrate, the group velocity on a Si/SiO2/Si...
متن کاملUltracompact polarization converter with a dual subwavelength trench built in a silicon-on-insulator waveguide.
The design and fabrication of an ultracompact silicon-on-insulator polarization converter is reported. The polarization conversion with an extinction ratio of 16 dB is achieved for a conversion length of only 10 μm. Polarization rotation is achieved by inducing a vertical asymmetry by forming in the waveguide core two subwavelength trenches of different depths. By taking advantage of the calibr...

We present a photonic-plasmonic mode converter using modecoupling-based polarization rotation for connecting a silicon wire and hybrid plasmonic waveguides on a metal-inserted silicon platform. By using the polarization rotator based on defect-introduced silicon wire waveguide, the proposed mode converter can convert the photonic TE mode into the hybrid plasmonic TM mode. At the beginning, to i...
