Full Measurement of the Stokes Parameters Using a Subwavelength Silicon On-Chip Polarimeter

Abstract:

Polarimetry enables to measure the state of polarization (SoP) of a light beam, which is essential in many disciplines. Typical polarimeters use bulky and expensive optical elements such as half-wave plates and grid polarizers. Plasmonic nanostructures may help to transform such bulky components into subwavelength metallic elements showing similar performance. Based on the concept of spin-orbit coupling, here we demonstrate a nanophotonic polarimeter that measures the Stokes parameters of a light beam over an ultrabroad bandwidth in a less than a square wavelength active region. Furthermore, the presented approach is applicable to any wavelength regime and technological platform, paving the way for the miniaturization of polarimeters.
