Abstract
A near-infrared broadband polarization beam splitter (PBS) is proposed and numerically simulated, which is realized by a directional coupler assisted with an Au nanocube array. The fundamental transverse electric (TE) mode can be coupled to the output of the upper waveguide by exciting the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), while the fundamental transverse magnetic (TM) mode is output directly from the lower waveguide. The length of the coupling region of the PBS is only 1 μm. It has a working bandwidth of 210 nm in the range of 1420 ∼ 1630 nm, covering three bands: S-, C- and L-bands. The simulation shows that the extinction ratio of TE and TM polarization is 20.31 dB and 14.15 dB, respectively.
