title: A tunable polarization diversity silicon photonics filter.
abstract: A tunable polarization diversity silicon waveguide based optical filter was demonstrated. With the polarization diversity scheme, less than 0.5dB polarization dependent loss of the silicon optical filter was achieved in the wavelength range from 1525nm to 1600nm. The insertion loss of the whole polarization diversity circuits is 6.3dB. The extinction ratio of the optical filter is more than 27dB.
