Abstract

In this paper, a compact mid-infrared (MIR) transverse-electric (TE)-pass polarizer is presented and numerically examined. The introduced polarizer is built on silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) platform. Such platform boasts key features such as minimal power consuming, superior linearity, and transmission with high speed, making it particularly advantageous for various applications, especially in the MIR spectrum. The proposed design is complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible based on bi-metallic materials, aluminium doped zinc oxide and titanium nitride, as alternative plasmonic materials. Large coupling between the surface plasmon and fundamental transverse magnetic (TM) modes is occurred in the silicon core by the bimetallic effect. Nevertheless, the transverse-electric mode can travel with negligible losses. The suggested TE-pass polarizer attains, at a 2 µm operating wavelength, an extinction ratio (ER) of 17.5 dB accompanied by an insertion loss (IL) of 0.1 dB at a device length of 3 µm. Moreover, the introduced polarizer design is simple and has high resilience to fabrication errors.
