Experimental demonstration of TM mode-attenuation resonance in planar metal-clad optical waveguides

Abstract: We show experimentally the presence of TM mode absorption resonance as a function of buffer thickness in planar metal-clad optical waveguides. Using Hg as the metal cladding, we have measured more than 20 dB of loss for the TM mode over about 1-mm length in a Ti-indiffused LiNbO(3) waveguide.

“…1 Keyvan Ahmadi keyvanah@shirazu.ac.ir Various solutions proposed for making such polarizers include (1) use of an anisotropic leaky wave polarizer in an anisotropic crystal such as LiNbO3 (2) propagation in a direction oblique to the optic axis to make one of the modes leaky and (3) metal cladding to introduce differential losses between TE and TM modes. Extinction ratio of 32dB/cm and insertion loss of 0.9dB/cm have been reported on the y-cut LiNbO3 substrate at 1.55µm benefiting from processdependence characteristics of TE-pass Zn-diffused waveguides [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Of the proposed solutions, the metal-cladded polarizer is the most interesting since it is integrable with the optical circuit and is expected to reach a high differential attenuation polarization.…”
