A polarization splitter and rotator (PSR) based on a tapered directional coupler with relaxed fabrication tolerance is proposed and demonstrated on the silicon-on-insulator platform. The device is simply constructed by parallel-coupling a narrow silicon waveguide with a linearly tapered wider waveguide. Compared to previously reported PSRs based on a normal directional coupler, which suffer from stringent requirements on the accuracy of the narrow waveguide width, the introduced tapered structure of the wide waveguide can be used to compensate the fabrication errors of the narrow waveguide. In addition, only a single step of exposure and etching is needed for the fabrication of the device. Similar high conversion efficiencies are experimentally demonstrated for a narrow waveguide width deviation of 14 nm with large tolerance to the coupler length. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
