Abstract

Photonic integration in a silicon nitride (SiN) platform enables low propagation losses and a wide transparency range, making it ideal for quantum applications. However, polarization control in SiN is challenging because of its low birefringence. This work demonstrates polarization beam splitters using asymmetric directional couplers in SiN, designed for 950 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths. These devices exhibit low insertion losses (<1 dB) and high polarization extinction ratios (20 dB-30 dB).

期刊介绍： The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community. Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
