Abstract

The polarization characteristics of nano-scale grating-assisted polarization-insensitive coupler (GA-PIC) consisted of double sandwiched rib-type layers are evaluated in detail by using modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on equivalent network. To obtain the polarization-insensitive condition of GA-PIC, the coupling lengths as a function of the refractive index and thickness of sandwiched rib-type layer as well as the grating thickness and period are analyzed for quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. The numerical results show that the GA-PIC with hundreds of nanometer scale is realized by properly choosing structural and material parameters of double sandwiched layers and grating.
