Numerical Investigations of a Silicon Photonic TE-Pass Polarizer Consisting of Alternating Copper/Silicon Nitride Layers

We propose and investigate a silicon photonic TE-pass polarizer consisting of alternating layers made out of copper/silicon nitride (Cu/Si3N4). Based on a Si stripe waveguide, the launched dominant fundamental TE mode can normally pass through it with little influence, whereas the unwanted fundament...
