Abstract:
A compact silicon waveguide mode converter, a dielectric meta-surface structure based on periodical oblique subwavelength perturbations, including a top silicon structure with oblique subwavelength perturbations etched in certain periods with period length of Λ, a duty cycle and an oblique angle θ on the SOI substrate. The invention adopts an all-dielectric meta-surface structure with oblique subwavelength perturbation, which can achieve a compact mode conversion from fundamental mode to arbitrary high-order mode of silicon waveguide, and can improve the optical communication capacity greatly.
