Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Usually, the communication window in an optical communication system is near-infrared light. Here, it is assumed that the working wavelength of the optical signal is 1.55 μm. Such as figure 1 As shown, the core layer liquid crystal material connecting the waveguide 8 is liquid crystal E7, and the other core layer materials are polysulfone doped with ICP-E. The polysulfone of E has a refractive index of 1.67; the cladding material 1 is a polymer material UV15, and its refractive index is 1.50. The core layer thickness d, ridge height h and width w of the waveguide are 1.0 μm, 0.8 μm and 5.0 μm respectively, and the deflection angle θ is 1 degree. To simplify the calculation, the three-dimensional waveguide is equivalent to a two-dimensional slab waveguide by using the effective refractive index method. For TE waves, the equivalent refractive indices in the core and cla...

Abstract

A waveguide type polarizing beam splitter belongs to the technical field of integrated photon devices, is based on the total internal reflection principle and the mode field coupling principle and adopts liquid crystal materials with a large double refraction difference. According to the invention, optical signals of different polarization states can automatically select specific branch waveguides at branch positions to transmit so as to realize effective separation of the optical signals of different polarization states; the refractivity of the liquid crystals at a regulation and control area can be changed through utilizing an electro-optical effect so as to achieve the purpose that the output ports of the optical signals of different polarization states exchange and further realize regulation and control of a polarized light output passage. The polarizing beam splitter provided by the invention has the advantages of simple structure, easiness in design and manufacturing, low wave length dependence, simplicity and convenience in regulation and control, and the like, and has an application prospect in an integrated photon system.
