Abstract

A dynamic polarization controller (DPC) is an important component in fiber optic communication, optical imaging, and quantum technologies. The DPC can transform any input state of polarization (SOP) into any desired SOP to overcome polarization-related impairments resulting from high internally and externally induced birefringence. In this work, a low-loss silicon photonics-integrated DPC is designed and demonstrated experimentally. The whole chip is fabricated by using industry-standard silicon-on-insulator technology. Using the edge-coupling method, the coupler loss is reduced to less than 2 dB, and the total loss of DPC is reduced to 5.7 dB. Using a variable-step simulated annealing method, for a low-noise photodetector and high-static-extinction-ratio device, a dynamic polarization extinction ratio can reach more than 30 dB. The size of the DPC on the chip is 5.20 mm × 0.12 mm × 0.80 mm. The DPC utilizes a 0°/45°/0°/45° structure, which can realize arbitrary polarization-based coordinate conversion with endless polarization control. The 0° and 45° transform structures and matrices are presented, and the principle of the 0° and 45° structures is explained in detail by using the Poincaré sphere. A simulation using Lumerical is conducted to optimize the polarization rotator-splitter, which can transform the TM ₀mode light in one waveguide into the TE ₀mode light in the other waveguide while the TE ₀mode light in one waveguide remains unchanged. Based on the optimized structure, the static polarization extinction ratio of DPC can be measured to be a value greater than 40 dB. The thermal phase shift (TPS) is characterized by using a Mach–Zehnder modulator. The length of the TPS is 400 μm, and the resistance of the metal heater is 2.00 kΩ. The maximum power consumed by the four TPSs is a total of 0.2 W. The modulation bandwidth of the DPC designed by our group is approximately 30 kHz. By considering an applied voltage of 5.6 V in the case of the TPS, the bandwidth–voltage product is 5.6 × 30 = 168 kHz·V. To optimize the DPC parameters, such as the step length, electronic noise, and static polarization extinction ratio, numerical simulation results of the simulated annealing approach are analyzed in detail. In conclusion, a low-loss silicon photonics-integrated DPC is designed and demonstrated experimentally. A dynamic polarization extinction ratio is obtained to be greater than 30 dB by using the variable-step simulated annealing method. The DPC is expected to be utilized in fiber or quantum communication systems to minimize size and further decrease costs.
