Design and simulation of a single MZI-based DQPSK demodulator
we reduce the Polarization-Dependent-Frequency Shift(PDFS) of the DQPSK demodulator with a 91 μm-thick quartz half-wave plate.Using the optimized tapered waveguide structure at the wave-plate
we reduce the additional loss brought about by the inserted half-wave plate to 0.41 dB and simulate the demodulator in the C-band.The results show that demodulators with such a structure have low insertion loss and high extinction ratio.
