Abstract

A multilayer metal clad optical waveguide polarizer is designed. Its attenuation characteristics are analyzed. The polarizer consists of polystyrene-glass waveguide cladded with silver metal with MgF2 as a buffer inserted between them. And a superstrate layer of MgF2 cover the metal layer. Here, metal film is kept thin to enhance the TM absorption by the lossy surface plasmon polariton by the resonant coupling of the guided mode. The structure was optimized for various values of buffer thickness and it was found that at particular buffer thickness TM losses are maximum, making it an efficient TE polarizer, allowing it to pass.
