“…This TM polarizer configuration is an alternative to the other reported polarizer based on corrugated waveguide [12], photonics crystal waveguide [13], slotted waveguide [14], and sandwiched waveguide [15] structures. The major advantage of our proposed waveguide structure in the TM 0 and TE 0 modes segregation is evident from the smallest reported foot-print and sub-micron length features.…”

-A transverse-magnetic-pass (TM-pass) copper (Cu) polarizer is proposed and analyzed using the previously published two-dimensional Method-of-Lines beam-propagation model. The proposed polarizer exhibits a simulated high-pass filter characteristics, with TM 0 and TE 0 mode transmissivity of >70% and <5%, respectively, in the wavelength regime of 1.2 -1.6 μm. The polarization extinction ratio (PER) given by 10 log 10 (PTM 0 )/(PTE 0 ) is +11.5 dB across the high-pass wavelength regime. To the best of the authors' knowledge, we report here the smallest footprint CMOSplatform compatible TM-polarizer.

“…Many types of waveguide polarizers have been realized over the years, including, for example, metal-clad waveguides [1-4] and birefringence waveguides [5,6], but only few of them are TM-pass types. One class of such polarizers is based on using a metal-cladding layer with either a grating [7,8] or a nanocomposite structure [9] to absorb the propagating TE polarization wave. However, the propagation loss of these devices is relatively high.…”

A novel integrated TM-pass waveguide polarizer with a subwavelength-wide slot is introduced and theoretically analyzed. With a proper design of the slot, the waveguide can be used as a single polarization waveguide to guide only TM polarization modes of the light signal. With 26 microm length of this TM-pass polarizer, our computer simulations predict the insertion loss of 0.54 dB for the TM polarization mode with the extinction ratio of 20.3 dB at the wavelength of 1.55 microm.
