Abstract(in English) High refractive index difference of silicon waveguide enables high-density integration, but due to strong polarization dependence, it becomes a factor which makes the design complicated. As a solution of this problem, we proposed a design of waveguide type polarization splitter based on directional coupler which is advantageous in terms of size. In the past, there is a report of 10 dB extinction ratio in 1550 nm wavelength band, but this time we propose a structure with over 20 dB extinction ratio in 1550 nm wavelength band. It was confirmed by FDTD analysis that it can be realized by setting the combination of coupling length to 1: 2. Furthermore, we fabricated devises using foundry service and report results of measured polarization characteristics. From the result of the measurement, it was confirmed that this device was operating and an extinction ratio of 20 dB or more was obtained.
