Zero-Birefringence Silicon Waveguides Based on Tilted Subwavelength Metamaterials

Polarization independent silicon-on-insulator nanowires are highly sought after, due the inherent high birefringence of this material platform. State-of-the-art designs of non-birefringent waveguides include ridge waveguides and square nanowires, which either imply large dimensions, multiple etching...
