Abstract:
We present a method for polarization-insensitive photonic circuits by transforming fundamental modes of TE and TM polarizations into multiple modes with a single polarization. Silicon thermo-optic and electro-optic switches were fabricated with a polarization-dependent loss of 0.4 and 0.1 dB, respectively.
