  • Abstract
    A novel nanofabrication scheme for two-layer microphotonic structures were proposed and applied to the fabrication of integrated, mode-evolution-based polarization splitters and rotators. Prototype devices demonstrated effective splitting and rotating of polarization with low cross-talk.
