摘要: This letter demonstrated a novel strategy to optimize the extinction ratio and insertion loss of side-polished fiber-optical polarizers. The polarizer has portion cladding polished away replaced with only single layer thin aluminium film. Extinction ratios up over 22.6 dB/cm down 1–2 have been realized. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
