...A silicon hybrid plasmonic waveguide consisting of a SOI nanowire, a metal cap and an ultra-thin SiO2 layer (hd) between them (see Figure 20A [137]) can also be used to realize an asymmetrical coupling system for PBSs....
[...]
...Furthermore, it is also desired to achieve broadband PBSs and PRs, which make it possible to work together with the WDM technology to form a kind of hybrid multiplexing system....
[...]
...Among them, a DC structure is an attractive option for PBSs because of its structural simplicity....
[...]
...In contrast, asymmetrical coupling systems have been considered as an improved option to achieve ultra-short and ultra-broadband PBSs [102], for which the waveguides are optimized to satisfy the phase-matching condition for only one polarization so that complete cross-coupling occurs....
[...]
...It has been realized that most photonic integrated devices are polarization dependent due to the birefringence of optical waveguides (as summarized in Table 2), which provides various ways to realize waveguide-type PBSs, including multimode interferometers (MMIs) [106–110], DCs [111–118], MZIs [119–121], photonic crystal (PhC) structures [122–126], AWGs [127], MRRs [128], etc....
