Abstract
We investigate the effect of the wing width and thickness of a Double-Sided Deep-Ridge(DSDR) vertical directional coupler on the coupling length dependent on the polarization, We have found that the DSDR vertical directional coupler without a wing does not have polarization independent coupling lengths. The variation of the coupling length of TE and TM modes and the difference between the coupling lengths of the two modes are negligible as the wing width increases beyond the specific wing width for the same wing thickness. Thus, we can see that a DSDR vertical directional coupler has a wing width larger than the minimum wing width to obtain the polarization independent coupling length. The minimum wing width increases as the wing thickness increases for the same core thickness and as the core thickness decreases for the same wing width. Also, we have found that the minimum wing thickness is determined by the core thickness and the minimum wing thickness decreases as the core thickness increases.
