Polarization diversity circuit based on a double-core structure consisting of silicon photonic wire and silicon-oxinitride waveguide

We devised a silicon photonic circuit with polarization diversity. The circuit consists of polarization splitters and rotators. The splitter is based on simple 10-micrometer-long directional couplers. The polarization extinction ratio is 23 dB and excess loss is less than 0.5 dB. The rotator consists of a silicon waveguide embedded in an off-axis siliconoxynitride waveguide. A 35-micrometer-long rotator gives a rotation angle of more than 72 degrees and excess loss of about 1 dB. Both devices can be made by using planar fabrication technology and do not require a complex structure such as three-dimensional forming. Using these devices, we developed a polarization diversity circuit for a ringresonator wavelength filter. The polarization dependent loss of the filter with polarization diversity is about 1 dB. A 10- Gbps data transmission with scrambled polarization is demonstrated.
