Thin-film optical waveguide polarizer using semiconducting cadmium sulphide

Abstract
An optical waveguide attenuative polarizer is realized by a slab‐type glass film waveguide covered with a semiconducting cadmium sulphide top layer. Cross‐sectional energy distribution and absorption in the guide is vitally influenced by the top layer thickness for each polarization mode. Selection of the specific mode can be achieved by controlling the top layer thickness. Experiment is compared with theoretical analysis.
