Figures & Tables

Fig. 1. (a) Schematic of the proposed TM-pass polarizer. Inset: (i) Compact strip-to-slot mode convertor; (ii) HPSW active region; (iii) cross-section of the HPSW. As an example, the widths of “rails” (Wsi) and slot (Wslot) in the HPSW are chosen as 240 and 180 nm, while the width of metal layer (Wm) is chosen as 300 nm. Besides, the inner radius (R1) and outer radius (R2) of the metal “wing” in ARS are set as 500 and 800 nm in our design, respectively. Under this structural configuration, the dielectric slot waveguide supports four eigenmodes: TE0slot, TE1slot, TM0slot, and TM1slot. (b) The polarization-dependent mode-conversion process in the proposed device.

Fig. 2. Transverse magnetic-field profile of (a) EM2, (b) EM4, and (c) EM5. Black arrows represent the electrical field directions. Corresponding power coupling ratios of (d) EM2, (e) EM4, and (f) EM5 with sweeping Gap and Hm when TE0slot is injected into the HPSW. The mode profiles for TE0slot, EM2, EM4, and EM5 are given under the dimension that Wsi=240 nm, Wslot=180 nm, Wm=300 nm, Gap=45 nm, and hAu=45 nm.

Fig. 6. Electric-field evolution with the corresponding (b), (e) Ex and (c), (f) Hx component in the proposed TM-pass polarizer for (a) TE and (d) TM fundamental input. The operation wavelength is 1550 nm, and the refractive indices for gold, SiO2, and Si are 0.238+11.263i [32], 1.444, and 3.478, respectively. Besides, the minimum mesh of 5 nm in x, y, and z directions is set to obtain accurate and stable results.
