title: Polarization splitter/combiner in high index contrast Bragg reflector waveguides.
abstract: Novel designs of polarization devices based on Bragg reflector waveguides in a high index contrast silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform have been proposed. Brewster angle condition is incorporated in the periodic structures. Numerical simulations with a 3D semivectorial beam propagation method demonstrate the device performance as TE mode polarizer with high TE to TM extinction ratio and TE/TM mode polarization splitter and combiner with high polarization splitting efficiency.
