Design and modeling of a photonic integrated device for optical vortex generation in a silicon waveguide

We propose and numerically verify a design of the photonic integrated circuit for in-plane generation of a 1st azimuthal order vortex mode in dielectric rectangular waveguides. Radiation is introduced into the proposed structure in a standard way through two grating couplers. Applying a mode couplin...

Description
Summary:We propose and numerically verify a design of the photonic integrated circuit for in-plane generation of a 1st azimuthal order vortex mode in dielectric rectangular waveguides. Radiation is introduced into the proposed structure in a standard way through two grating couplers. Applying a mode coupling and specific phase shift, a field with the required amplitude-phase distribution is formed directly in the output waveguide. The geometric dimensions of the device are simulated and optimized to fit the technological parameters of the silicon-on-insulator platform.
