Abstract
We give a comprehensive explanation for an unexpected strong polarization conversion effect in periodically loaded strip waveguides, which was detected experimentally some years ago. The effect can be put down to the occurrence of hybrid supermodes. Based on this knowledge, design proposals for new, highly efficient polarization converters can be given.
