Abstract: A disclosed optical waveguide element includes a cladding portion formed on a substrate; an optical waveguide which is formed inside the cladding portion and has a refractive index higher than that of the cladding portion; an optical filter which is inserted into a slit formed in the cladding portion to divide the optical waveguide into a first optical waveguide and a second optical waveguide; and a first thin film element which is inserted into the slit along with the optical filter and is provided with a first thin film lens, wherein the first thin film lens provided in the first thin film element converges light that has propagated through the first optical waveguide and outputs into the slit into the second optical waveguide.

Abstract: An integrated polarization splitter and rotator (PSR) employs the TE0 and TE1 modes of propagating light, rather than the TE0 and TM0 modes used in conventional prior art PSR. The integrated PSR exhibits appreciably flatter wavelength response because it does not require a directional coupler to de-multiplex incoming polarizations. The PSR allows tuning of the TM0 loss to reduce polarization dependent loss (PDL). This integrated polarization splitter and rotator is applicable to all integrated platforms including Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) and III-V semiconductor compound systems. The PSR may be very compact (12×2 μm2), and provides low loss (

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe polarization insensitive optical devices utilizing polarization sensitive components. Light comprising at least one polarization state is received, and embodiments of the invention select a first optical path for light comprising a first polarization state or a second optical path for light comprising a second polarization state orthogonal to the first polarization state. The optical paths include components to at least amplify and/or modulate light comprising the first polarization state; the second optical path includes a polarization rotator to rotate light comprising the second polarization state to the first polarization state. Embodiments of the invention further describe optical devices including a polarization mode converter to convert light comprising a first and a second polarization state to light comprising different spatial modes of the first polarization state; light comprising the different spatial modes of the first polarization state is subsequently amplified and modulated.

Abstract: An optical circuit that monolithically integrates a splitter, two optical 90° hybrids, and first to fourth waveguides on a unique substrate is disclosed. The splitter splits a local beam into first and second local beams each provided to the hybrids through the third and fourth waveguides, while, the signal beam including first and second signal beams each provided to the hybrids through the first and second waveguides without intersecting with the third and fourth waveguides. The hybrids extract in-phase components and quadrature phase components of the first and second signal beams with respect to the first and second local beams, respectively. The phase statuses of the quadrature components against the in-phase components are same in the two hybrids.

Abstract: A photonic integrated circulator can be fabricated by including a plurality of polarizing beam splitters and optical polarization rotators such that two copies of the optical signal are output at a receiver in substantially aligned polarization states. The circulator can be used for facilitating bi-directional communications between photonic integrated circuit devices, which are inherently polarization sensitive, while reducing signal loss.
