Submicron-scale broadband polarization beam splitter using CMOS-compatible materials

Abstract We propose a polarization beam splitter (PBS) with a footprint of only 600 × 790 nm2 operating at a wavelength of λ = 1550 nm, which is the smallest PBS ever demonstrated. This device uses CMOS-compatible materials, namely, silicon and silica. The present PBS comprises two Si waveguides wit...
