Abstract

We present a short, 800µm, interference based, 2×2 polarization splitter. The device consists of a Mach Zehnder Interferometer with polarization converters in the arms. Birefringence in the waveguides causes a phase shift between light in the arms. This phase shift has an opposite sign for the two orthogonal polarizations. For a 2×2 splitter an additional polarization independent phaseshift of p/2 in one of the arms is necessary. This phase difference corresponds to a length of 120 nm and is obtained by tilting the input and output couplers of the MZI. First results show a splitting ratio of approximately 9 dB.
