Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose an accurate technique for evaluating the optical-axis rotation angle of a waveguide-type polarization converter with an asymmetric cross-section. The evaluation is based on the Poynting vector, rather than the previous techniques in which only the electric or magnetic field is used. High accuracy is found using a model of the converter situated on a silica substrate. Further consideration is given to a completely buried converter. Since this model has a symmetry with respect to the 45$^circ$ plane, the optical-axis rotation angle retains 45$^circ$, even when the wavelength is varied. We, therefore, introduce the effect of excitation efficiency between the input eigenmode and the two generated supermodes. The wavelength response of the extinction ratio is improved, confirming a good correlation with the FDTD results.
