Popis: |
A compact integrated and high-efficiency polarization mode interferometer in the 220-nm silicon-on-insulator platform is presented. Due to the operation with two polarization modes in a single waveguide, low propagation losses and high sensitivities combined with a small footprint are achieved. The designed and fabricated system with a 5-mm-long sensing region shows a measured excess loss of only 1.5 dB with an extinction ratio up to 30 dB, while its simulated homogeneous bulk sensitivity can exceed 8000 rad/RIU. The combination with a 90° hybrid readout system offers single wavelength operation with unambiguousness for phase shifts up to 2π and constant sensitivity. |
