Abstract
An integrated optical waveguide polarizer on glass is described. It is based on a filtering zone propagating only TE mode whereas the TM mode leaks out into a birefringent polymer simply deposited on the glass. The polymer is poled by a corona process. The measured polarization extinction ratio between TE and TM modes is better than 39 dB and the excess loss due to the filtering zone is less than 4 dB. The total loss is in the order of 7 dB.Keywords
