We propose a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) which consists of a taper, a bending waveguide, and two symmetrical arms. The structure is realized with organic-inorganic hybrid polymer materials and analyzed by a commercially available RSoft CAD BeamPROP solver. We set the core width for input and output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer at 6 µm for single-mode propagation. This interferometer shows an excess loss of 0.162 dB and has an efficiency of almost 96.4%. We also investigate the polarization dependency of this interferometer varying the beam incident angles from 0-30 degrees and this investigation suggests that this MZI shows polarization dependency when the light incident on the launched side of this MZI at for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
