Zusammenfassung:A bent taper is provided that includes one or more waveguide bends, at least one of which has a tapering waveguide width along at least a portion thereof. In one embodiment, the bent taper is an S-shaped bent taper that is configured as a TE0-TE1 mode convertor. Such a bent taper can be combined with a linear bi-layer taper configured as a TM0-TE1 mode converter to form a TM0-TE0 polarization rotator.
