Numerical Analysis of Asymmetric Silicon Nanowire Waveguide as Compact Polarization Rotator
In this paper, an ultracompact design of a low-loss silicon (Si) polarization rotator based on a silicon-on-insulator platform, which contains an asymmetric strip Si nanowire waveguide core, is presented. A full-vectorial finite element method and the least squares boundary residual method are used...

| description | In this paper, an ultracompact design of a low-loss silicon (Si) polarization rotator based on a silicon-on-insulator platform, which contains an asymmetric strip Si nanowire waveguide core, is presented. A full-vectorial finite element method and the least squares boundary residual method are used to study the effects of the device parameters, the results of which indicate that a very high polarization conversion with a very low polarization crosstalk is possible. |
