RESUMEN
An integrated polarization-insensitive vortex beam generator is proposed in this study. It is composed of a holographic grating on a multi-layer waveguide, which enables conversion of Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) waveguide modes to y-polarized and x-polarized optical vortex beams, respectively. The conversion efficiency and the phase fidelity are numerically analyzed, and the working bandwidth is about 100 nm from 1500 nm to 1600 nm with a phase fidelity above 0.7. Moreover, the vortex beam with the superposition of the y-polarization and x-polarization states can be obtained with the incident of the superposition of TE and TM waveguide modes.
