Arbitrary polarization mode generator based on optical chip

Abstract

Discloses an arbitrary polarization mode generator based on a photonic integrated circuit, which includes a plurality of polarization structures arranged on the photonic integrated circuit and forming an array, each polarization structure in the array is configured to disassemble a polarization state in a target mode into the plurality of units correspondingly, and a polarization state of each unit after disassembly is independently completed by one of the polarization structure correspondingly, so that generating any required polarization state is realized. According to the disclosure, the polarization state of the non-uniformity mode in a polarization space is disassembled, and an independent polarization is generated by using the polarization structure, so as to generate any polarization mode including a vector mode can be realized by using on-chip design, having a plurality of advantages including low cost, good stability and high integration degree, and convenient for productization.
