    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a waveguide polarizer comprising a series of bends. The waveguide polarizer is suitable for used in optical waveguide devices or circuits, where a polarized light is required, such as for single polarization output. The polarizer design is independent of the function of the optical devices. In an embodiment, an optical polarizer comprises an optical waveguide configured to propagate light at a designated polarization mode, and comprising a bend in a same plane of the propagated light. The bend has a geometry configured to contain in the optical waveguide the designated polarization mode of the propagated light and radiate outside the optical waveguide a second polarization mode of the propagated light.

    Abstract: A photonic platform based polarization controller providing a fixed target polarization is disclosed. The polarization controller has a polarization rotator splitter splitting the beam into first and second feeds corresponding to first and second orthogonal polarization components. A first Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) stage provides a first phase delay between the first and second feeds based on a first control signal, and a first mixer mixes the first and second feeds to provide third and fourth feeds. A second MZI stage provides a second phase delay between the third and fourth feeds based on a second control signal, and a second mixer mixes the third and fourth feeds to provide fifth and sixth feeds. A third MZI stage provides a third phase delay between the fifth and sixth feeds based on a third control signal, and a third mixer mixes the fifth and sixth feeds to provide the fixed target polarization. An optical tap splits a portion of the beam.
