A new way to make broadband polarizers on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides is
proposed, analyzed and characterized. The characteristics of the eigenmodes in a shallowly …

The fabrication restrictions that must be imposed on the geometry of optical waveguides to
make them behave as single-mode devices are well known for relatively large waveguides …

A high-performance integrated silicon TE-pass polarizer is proposed and demonstrated. The
polarizer uses a series of adiabatic waveguide bends that yield high extinction ratio for the …

Hybrid waveguides consisting of a metal plane separated from a high-index medium by a
low-index spacer have recently attracted a lot of interest. TM and TE modes are guided in …

In this letter, we demonstrate an ultracompact polarization splitter design leveraging the
giant birefringence of silicon-on-insulator slot waveguides. The fabricated splitter device has …

We demonstrate broadband (1500-1620 nm) and low-loss planar waveguide polarizers with
measurement-limited on-chip extinction as high as 75 dB. Polarizers can be fabricated in …

A detailed analysis of the polarization characteristics (birefringence) of a silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) rib waveguide is given. The fundamental TE-and TM-polarized modes of the SOI rib …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel approach to implement a low-loss,
broadband, and compact transverse electric (TE)-pass polarizer on a silicon-on-insulator …
