Mode and Polarization Division Multiplexing Based on Chalcogenide‐Glass‐on‐Thin‐Film Lithium Niobate [PDF]
High‐index GeSbSe chalcogenide glass loaded on thin‐film lithium niobate enables compact broadband mode‐ and polarization‐division multiplexing. Exploiting direction‐dependent birefringence of x‐cut LNOI, a four‐channel mode (de)multiplexer and asymmetric directional coupler‐based polarization splitter–rotator are demonstrated with great performance in
