Compact Polarization Rotator Based on Surface Plasmon Polariton With Low Insertion Loss
An ultracompact mode-evolution-based polarization rotator is proposed. The polarization rotator consists of silicon wire waveguide covered by silica buffer layer and linearly tapered thin aluminum. Numerical simulations using 3-D finite element method demonstrate that it is possible to obtain an 11-...
