Demonstration of an On-Chip TE-Pass Polarizer Based on Radiation Coupling by Li Zhang, Shengjie Tang, Cheng Chen, Haibin Lv, Xiaoping Liu

“…The power confinement ratio of the mode field is manipulated by using a SiON slab, where most of the power of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode is transferred to the upper SiON slab and then attenuated through radiation, while the TE mode passes through with relatively low propagation loss. Experimental results show that our proposed device can achieve an extinction ratio that varies from 20.5 to 32.7 dB in the wavelength range of 790 to 870 nm, with an insertion loss of 0.6 to 1.7 dB. …”
