Abstract

The invention discloses a cylindrical polarization beam splitter with an ultra-small asymmetric structure, and relates to a polarization beam splitter. The structure of the present invention is: on the insulating layer, the curved strip waveguide and the curved periodic microstructure waveguide are arranged in reverse; the curved strip waveguide is a Si waveguide, which includes sequentially connected input sections, strip waveguide Section and TE output section, in reverse "C" shape; the curved periodic microstructure waveguide is a Si waveguide, including sequentially connected curved connection section, periodic cylindrical coupling section and TM output section, in the shape of "C" Shape; the periodic columnar coupling section is composed of a plurality of Si dielectric columns arranged in parallel. The polarization beam splitter has short coupling length and ultra-small volume, which is convenient for large-scale integration and reduces costs; it has small insertion loss and low beam splitting difficulty, and can be widely used as an important functional device in polarized light navigation, optical communication, photoelectric detection and optical Sensing and other fields.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a polarizing beam splitter, in particular to a cylindrical polarizing beam splitter with an ultra-small asymmetric structure. Background technique [0002] Traditional polarizing beam splitters are bulky and cannot be used for optical path integration. At present, there are several methods for realizing polarization beam splitting based on micro-nano optical waveguides. There are two main methods: using the periodic coupling between waveguides and the method of odd-even change, or introducing the asymmetry of the transmission waveguide. The principle is essentially the same: when the effective refractive index of the TE mode / TM mode in the waveguides on both sides is equal, the phase matching condition is satisfied, and the mode can be coupled, that is, the mode is transferred from one waveguide to the other waveguide. The latest polarization beam splitters designed based on this method are still not small enough, the cost is ...
