  1. We design and experimentally demonstrate a polarizing beam splitter (PBS) on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform based on an asymmetric directional coupler. The asymmetric directional coupler consists of a regular strip waveguide and a sub-wavelength grating (SWG) waveguide. Engineering the waveguide dispersion via SWG, the phase-matching condition can be satisfied for TM polarization over a broad bandwidth when the waveguide dimensions are optimized. The coupling region of the realized PBS is ∼7.2 µm long. For the fabricated PBS, the polarization extinction ratio (PER) is 10–45 dB and the insertion loss is 0.3–2.5 dB for TM polarization while the PER is 14–22 dB and the insertion loss is < 0.6 dB for TE polarization when operating in the wavelength range of 1460 –1610 nm.
