摘要：
A TE-pass waveguide polarizer is fabricated by utilizing the photobleaching-induced birefringence at room temperature in an electrooptic polymer, The polarizer consists of the photobleached waveguide supporting only TE mode, which is integrated in the middle of the etched rib waveguide supporting both TE and TM modes. It has a simple structure and requires no high temperature process like poling, The measured polarization extinction ratio is about 21 dB at the wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 mu m, and the estimated excess loss is about 0.4 dB.
