Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a TE mode polarizer based on a symmetrical three-waveguide directional coupler structure, belonging to the technical field of integrated optics. Background technique
[0002] Recently, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material systems have attracted much attention as fabrication platforms for integrated photonic circuits (PICs). However, the refractive index difference between the cladding layer and the core layer in SOI materials is large, which is prone to polarization-related problems, including polarization mode dispersion and polarization-dependent gain. A simple and effective solution is to use a mode analyzer to eliminate unwanted polarized light. Generally, there are two types of mode analyzers, TE and TM analyzers. Among them, the TE analyzer can pass the TE polarized light and block the TM polarized light. At present, mode analyzers based on different principles and using different structures have been reported successiv...
