“…However, due to high sensitivity to fabrication imperfections, the integration of polarization managing elements is highly challenging. While promising advances have been recently made for polarization splitters [5,6], polarization control still requires a significant trade-off between the level of integration and performance. A polarization controller is composed of two main elements: polarization rotators (PRs) (or wave plates) with precisely controlled rotation angles and polarization phase shifters.…”

Here we present a technology-independent polarization controller scheme based on electrically tunable phase shifters and polarization rotators with largely relaxed fabrication tolerances. Using this scheme, we experimentally demonstrate a fully integrated polarization controller in the silicon-on-insulator platform that is tunable over the complete C-band and achieves a polarization extinction range of 40 dB (20 dB). These results constitute, to the best of our knowledge, the highest polarization extinction range achieved in a fully integrated device, and overcome the existing limitation in the trade-off between integration and performance in polarization management circuits.

“…1, this requires, among other factors, the integration of polarization beam splitters (for polarization multiplexing) and high performance 90º hybrids combined with high speed photodiodes (for optical down-conversion); trans-impedance amplifiers are typically wire-bonded to the optical chip. While important advances have been achieved in both aspects [3], [4], it is still challenging to achieve high-yield (and thus economically viable) solutions for 90º hybrids simultaneously covering the C+L bands (1530nm -1625nm) or fully passive on-chip polarization splitters.

Future optical networks call for flexible, high performance and low cost coherent optical receivers. We present here several advances towards such receivers, including integrated optical couplers with ultra-broad bandwidth, as well as novel reception techniques and architectures that will enable high performance coherent reception without filtering and polarization splitting elements.Keywords: coherent receivers, colorless operation, multimode interference couplers, polarization splitters, OSNR penalty, receiver architectures INTRODUCTIONOptical transmission networks are evolving from classical long-haul scenarios towards flexible, high speed optical access networks [1]. These networks call for optical components that offer high performance and low cost while being suitable for diverse network scenarios. This has spurred interest in coherent receivers that can provide colorless operation in a broad spectral range and can work with a wide range of input powers, i.e. offer high dynamic range [2]. In order to achieve rugged devices and reduced costs, such receivers would ideally be fabricated as monolithically integrated chips. As shown in Fig. 1, this requires, among other factors, the integration of polarization beam splitters (for polarization multiplexing) and high performance 90º hybrids combined with high speed photodiodes (for optical down-conversion); trans-impedance amplifiers are typically wire-bonded to the optical chip. While important advances have been achieved in both aspects [3], [4], it is still challenging to achieve high-yield (and thus economically viable) solutions for 90º hybrids simultaneously covering the C+L bands (1530nm -1625nm) or fully passive on-chip polarization splitters.
