Abstract

An ultrathin, flexible reflective half-waveplate, consisting of a 5-µm-thick polyimide quarter-waveplate sputtered with a thin gold film, was fabricated, and its property of eliminating polarization sensitivity in titanium-diffused lithium niobate waveguide circuits was investigated. Transverse electric/transverse magnetic mode-conversion ratios of 15-20 dB at 1.55 µm were obtained, and a polarization-insensitive intensity modulator with a low half-wave voltage of 4.5 V was successfully fabricated using a titanium-diffused lithium niobate waveguide. The excess loss of the polyimide reflective waveplate (1 dB) was much smaller than that using a conventional quartz waveplate (6 dB).
