Abstract
Polarization plays a critical role in optical systems that range from optical communications to imaging, lithography, metrology, and data storage. Thus, in systems that need to generate a certain polarization state, a light source (e.g., laser) is combined with polarization control elements such as polarizers, polarizing beam splitters, and waveplates. Similarly, in systems requiring polarization state detection, such elements are combined with photodetectors. There is currently a trend toward miniaturized optical systems. This motivates the question of how to achieve what may be argued as an ultimate level of miniaturization: a single chip that can both generate light with a prescribed pola..
