  • Polarization independent multiplexer / demultiplexer
    Patent number: 10996394
    Abstract: An integrated optical component includes at least one input waveguide, at least one output waveguide; a first slab waveguide having a first refractive index, n1. The first slab waveguide may be disposed between at least one of the input waveguides and at least one of the output waveguides. The integrated optical component may further include a second slab waveguide having a second refractive index, n2. The integrated optical component may also include a third cladding slab having a third refractive index, n3. The third cladding slab may be disposed between the first slab and the second slab. The thickness of the second slab waveguide and the thickness of the third slab waveguide are adjustable to reduce a birefringence of the integrated optical component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 4, 2021
    Assignee: II-VI DELAWARE, INC.
    Inventors: Daniel Mahgerefteh, Jared Mikkelsen
