Abstract

We have recently developed and experimentally demonstrated the technology of tilted Bragg gratings in integrated optical waveguides to achieve polarisation selective coupling between parallel waveguides. Here I will review our ideas, designs and simulations for novel devices based on this platform. Multimode devices, tailored phase matching, and methods for significantly improved coupling efficiencies will be discussed that will be of interest for applications in quantum information processing and multimode optical telecommunication.
