Simple and compact inp polarization converter for polarization-multiplexed photonic integrated circuits

We propose and investigate a novel type of waveguide polarization converter, which is particularly suited for monolithic integration in InP photonic integrated circuits. Efficient mode conversion with 0.4-dB loss and 16.6-dB extinction is demonstrated numerically.
