Abstract

Polarization conversion in optical waveguides on birefringent substrates is discussed with the aid of a coupled wave model. Structures are described which tolerate large thickness variations (up to 45%) while achieving the phase matching necessary for high conversion efficiency. Polarization conversion is experimentally demonstrated in two such arrangements using ADP substrates and organic polymer films. Conversion efficiencies in excess of 98% have been obtained.
