Polarization Rotation in Silicon Waveguides: Analytical Modeling and Applications

The efficient use of optical nonlinearities in silicon is crucial for the implementation of silicon-based photonic devises. In this paper, we present an approximate analytical study of nonlinear polarization rotation in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides; the rotation is predominantly caused by t...
