摘要：

We describe a polarization rotator based on an off-axis double-core structure consisting of a silicon wire waveguide and a silicon-oxinitride waveguide. The rotator can be made by planar fabrication technology and do not require complex processes, such as three-dimensional structure formation. A rotator with 35-mu m long provides the polarization rotation angle of 72 degrees and the polarization extinction ratio of 11 dB with the excess loss of about 1 dB. Our polarization rotator represents a significant step towards accomplishing an optical circuit with polarization diversity based on silicon wire waveguides. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America.
