High-performance silicon polarization switch based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer integrated with polarization-dependent mode converters

As the key element for optical systems, polarization controllers with versatile functionalities are highly desired. Here, a CMOS-compatible polarization switch is proposed and realized by using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer integrated with two polarization-dependent mode converters (PDMCs) at the in...
