Polarization Engineering in Nanoscale Waveguides Using Lossless Media
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A device that achieves controllable rotation of the state of polarization by rotating the orientation of the eigenmodes of a waveguide by 45° is introduced and analyzed. The device can be implemented using lossless materials on the nanoscale and helps circumvent the inherent polarization dependence of photonic devices realized within the silicon-on-insulator platform. We propose and evaluate two novel polarization rotator-based schemes to achieve polarization engineering functions: 1) A multipurpose device, with dimensions on the order of a few wavelengths which can function as a polarization splitter or an arbitrary linear polarization state generator. 2) An energy efficient optical modulator that utilizes eigenmode rotation and epsilon near zero effects to achieve high extinction ratio, polarization insensitive amplitude modulation without the need to sweep the device geometry to match the TE and TM mode attributes. By using indium tin oxide as an example for a tunable material, the proposed modulator provides polarization insensitive operation and can be realized with a modulation bandwidth of 112 GHz, a length of 1800 nm, an energy per bit of 7.5 f.J and an optical bandwidth of 210 nm.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
