چکیده
An ultra-compact (coupling length ~ 8.77 m) silicon polarization splitter and rotator is demonstrated based on a bent directional coupler. The peak TM-TE coupling efficiency reaches 96.6%. The crosstalk values are < -10 dB over a wavelength range of 40 nm.

Novel ultra-short and ultra-broadband polarization beam splitter based on a bent directional coupler.
A novel ultra-short polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on a bent directional coupler is proposed by utilizing the evanescent coupling between two bent optical waveguides with different core widths. For the bent directional coupler, there is a significant phase-mismatch for TE polarization while the phase-matching condition is satisfied for TM polarization. Therefore, the TM polarized light ...
متن کاملDesign of a SiO₂ top-cladding and compact polarization splitter-rotator based on a rib directional coupler.
A compact polarization splitter-rotator based on a silicon-on-insulator rib asymmetrical directional coupler with SiO2 top-cladding is proposed. Unlike previously reported PSRs which specifically required the top-cladding material to be different from the bottom cladding in order to break the symmetry of the waveguide cross-section, our proposed PSR has no such limitation on the top-cladding du...
متن کاملFabrication tolerant polarization splitter and rotator based on a tapered directional coupler.
A polarization splitter and rotator (PSR) based on a tapered directional coupler with relaxed fabrication tolerance is proposed and demonstrated on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The device is simply constructed by parallel-coupling a narrow silicon waveguide with a linearly tapered wider waveguide. Compared to previously reported PSRs based on a normal directional coupler, which suffer fro...

In this article, we suggested a novel design of polarization splitter based on coupler waveguide on InP substrate at 1.55mm wavelength. Photonic crystal structure is consisted of two dimensional (2D) air holes embedded in InP/InGaAsP material with an effective refractive index of 3.2634 which is arranged in a hexagonal lattice. The photonic band gap (PBG) of this structure is determined using t...
