Polarization-Independent Mode-Evolution-Based Coupler for the Silicon-on-Insulator Platform

We demonstrate a polarization-independent mode-evolution-based coupler for the silicon-on-insulator platform. The measured coupler has negligible insertion loss over a bandwidth of about 100 nm, i.e., from 1500 to 1600 nm. The measured maximum power imbalances for the polarization-independent couple...
