A simple, compact, low-cost electro-optic polarization converter based on a nematic liquid crystal (LC) sandwiched between two ion-exchanged glass channel waveguides is proposed. A three-dimensional (3D) fully-vectorial (FV) finite difference beam propagation method (FDBPM) is used to simulate this optical device. The performance of the proposed polarization converter is analyzed numerically at zero and 5 V applied voltage for the case of strong anchoring of LC molecules to the surface of the waveguide. The polarization conversion efficiency is ~65% at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The total length of the directional coupler structure based converter is only 724 µm.

A simple, compact electrooptic polarizer based on an ion-exchanged glass channel waveguide covered with a nematic liquid crystal (LC) is proposed. A full vectorial beam propagation method is employed to simulate this device for the first time. For the cases of zero and strong LC surface anchoring, the performance of the proposed polarizer under different applied voltages is analyzed numerically. Analysis indicates that surface anchoring of the liquid crystal is a key issue influencing the performance for the proposed optical polarizer device.

“…For ion-exchanged glass waveguides one commonly used method is based on an approximation of the refractive index profile by a semi-Gaussian function in the horizontal direction (parallel to the glass surface) and by a complementary error function in the vertical direction, which requires the so-called diffusion depth parameters x d and y d to be estimated experimentally [1][2][3][4]. This simulation method works well for some simple ion-exchanged integrated circuits devices, such as channel or tapered waveguides.…”
