Abstract: A polarization-independent, optical circulator is formed in silicon photonics. The polarization-independent, optical circulator uses an optical splitter having two couplers and two waveguides joining the two couplers. One of the two waveguides is thinner than the other to create a large effective index difference between TE and TM modes transmitted through the one waveguide. Polarization rotators, including reciprocal and/or non-reciprocal rotators, are further used to create the optical circulator.

Abstract translation: 在硅光子学中形成偏振无关的光环行器。 偏振无关光环行器使用具有两个耦合器和两个耦合器的波导的分光器。 两个波导中的一个比另一个波导薄，以在通过一个波导传输的TE和TM模之间产生大的有效折射率差。 包括往复和/或非互易旋转器的偏振旋转器还被用于创建光学循环器。
