Abstract
A new design for an integrated passive polarization splitter and converter is presented.
The device consists of a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer with polarization converters in
both arms. The position of the converters is such that a phase difference of p radians
occurs between TE and TM. This results in polarization splitting in the output coupler.
The device is analyzed using the transfer matrix method and fabricated on InP/InGaAsP.
First measurement results show a splitting ratio of approximately 10 dB and a conversion
of >90 %. This device can be monolitically integrated with passive and active components.
