Background technique
Photon polarization freedom degree is the information carrier on basis in optical information field, and polarization beam splitter part is that optical information field is non-
Often important base components, are widely used in numerous areas such as optic communication, quantum communications, quantum calculations.However existing collect
At waveguide type beam splitting device carry out coupling beam splitting when can only polarize to the light of orthogonal basic vector (orthogonal bases)
Projection, it is birefringent as caused by the factors such as the asymmetry of waveguide sections or stress to will lead to not like-polarized mode distributions
With the difference of the coefficient of coup, therefore can not the light directly to diagonal basic vector (diagonal bases) carry out polarization projection.However,
The devices such as half-wave plate are added and carry out additional manipulation, on the one hand will increase the overall size and layout dimension of integrated optical wave guide device,
On the other hand, since the imperfection of device is readily incorporated the error for being difficult to measure, whole drop shadow effect is had an impact.
