Abstract
Two-phase and three-phase TE–TM mode converters for integrated optic polarization mode dispersion compensation are compared, and the latter are found to have a slightly better electro-optic efficiency. If a small differential group delay is needed, compensation performance can be drastically improved by a waveguide tilt in the YZ plane.
