Abstract
Mode coupling in strip waveguides can lead to the occurrence of hybrid supermodes. These supermodes offer the opportunity to develop highly efficient polarization converters even in isotropic materials as InP or GaAs. We present the theoretical background for the occurrence of hybrid supermodes and offer concrete design proposals for new polarization converters
