A new structure of microstructure reflection three-port beam splitter grating is described in this paper. The grating includes two dielectric layers and a metal slab on the substrate, where incident waves are reflected into the zeroth-order and the ± first-order with polarization-independent property. With the optimized grating profile, reflection efficiencies’ ratios between the first-order and the zeroth-order can reach 0.998 and 1.001 for TE and TM polarizations, respectively. Especially, the reflection grating can diffract efficiencies more than 30% into the ± first-order and the zeroth-order with the incident angular bandwidth of −1.9–1.9[Formula: see text] for TM polarization, which can have merits compared with single-layer transmission grating.

A compact polarization beam splitter (PBS) based on a silicon waveguide-silver nanoribbon-silicon waveguide is proposed and demonstrated numerically by utilizing the evanescent coupling between a strip-nanowire and a nanoslot waveguide. Two-dimensional (2-D) FDTD simulations were performed to elucidate the properties of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in this device made from silicon-metal-silicon, and were found to agree well with the theoretical predictions. TE and TM polarized light are respectively separated into two different output ports of Y-shaped silicon waveguide in which the coupling efficiency is 62% and 45% for 1.55μm wavelength, respectively. The proposed PBS structure could be utilized to develop ultracompact optical polarization modulating device for large-scale photonic integration and optical information processing.
