  • Abstract
    In this paper, we demonstrate a tunable polarization splitter, in which the output powers of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes at two arms can be electrically tuned by integrating a TE-TM mode converter with the polarization splitter. To reduce the complexity of design and fabrication, a homogenous Y-branch structure made by only zinc and nickel co-diffusion into lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is used for the polarization splitter.
