Abstract :
A novel TE/TM convertor is proposed and demonstrated which is fabricated on (001)-InP substrate and can be integrated with TE-TM phase shifters to provide a general polarisation transformation. Some aspects of the technological realisation and first results are given; in a first attempt, a polarisation rotation of about 20 deg by 20 V could be demonstrated.
