Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a waveguide polarizer comprising a series of bends. The waveguide polarizer is suitable for used in optical waveguide devices or circuits, where a polarized light is required, such as for single polarization output. The polarizer design is independent of the function of the optical devices. In an embodiment, an optical polarizer comprises an optical waveguide configured to propagate light at a designated polarization mode, and comprising a bend in a same plane of the propagated light. The bend has a geometry configured to contain in the optical waveguide the designated polarization mode of the propagated light and radiate outside the optical waveguide a second polarization mode of the propagated light.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for accomplishing polarization splitting and rotation. Embodiments of the invention include a first waveguide to receive light comprising orthogonally polarized transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes, and a second waveguide disposed below the first waveguide and comprising a reverse taper-shaped side to adiabatically receive one of the polarization modes (e.g., the TE mode) of the received light from the first waveguide. Said horizontal offset between the first and the reverse taper-shaped side of the second waveguide comprises an offset such that, for example, the TM mode of the received light is rotated to a TE mode in the first waveguide. The above described offsets and taper shaped structures may also be used in an optical combiner.

Abstract: An optical polarization rotator includes first and second optical waveguide ribs located along a planar surface of a substrate. The second optical waveguide rib is located farther from the surface than the first optical waveguide rib. First segments of the optical waveguide ribs form a vertical stack over the substrate, and second segments of the optical waveguide ribs are offset laterally in a direction along the planar surface.

Abstract: An optical polarization converter device includes a first polarization converter section [1100] and a second polarization converter section [1102], which have mirror image cross-sections of each other and which are made of a common material and have orientation (i.e., tilt) errors equal in magnitude and opposite in sign. Preferably, one section has half, the other one and a half times the length of an original (single section, non-tolerant) polarization converter, i.e., the lengths of the two sections have a ratio of 1:3. Other embodiments include length ratios of 3:5 and 5:7. In addition to correcting fabrication errors, the polarization converter also corrects errors due to temperature and wavelength, improving the tolerance with respect to operational conditions.
