| Abstract | Polarization management is of paramount importance in integrated optics, particularly for highly birefringent photonic platforms such as silicon-on-insulator. In this work, we present a polarization beam splitter based on a multimode interference coupler incorporating tilted subwavelength gratings. The tilt provides accurate control of the structural anisotropy and enables independent selection of the beat length for two orthogonal polarization states. As a result, device length is reduced to less than 100 μm while simultaneously achieving broadband operation through subwavelength grating dispersion engineering. Insertion losses below 1 dB and an extinction ratio higher than 20 dB are demonstrated through 3D FDTD simulation in a 131-nm bandwidth. |
