High-extinction-ratio directional-coupler-type polarization beam splitter with a bridged silicon wire waveguide
2018
We demonstrate an integrated polarization beam splitter (PBS) of a simple and compact device geometry with high polarization extinction ratios (PERs). A silicon PBS based on a three-waveguide directional coupler is numerically simulated for optimum device parameters, and fabricated experimentally. The measured PER values of the fabricated PBSs are 40.74 dB and 39.01 dB for transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes, respectively, and their corresponding insertion losses are 0.35 dB on average for a coupler length of about 29.4 μm.
