Abstract
We present and experimentally validate an ultra-compact, silicon-photonics, Stokes-vector receiver designed entirely using topology optimization. The system occupies just 0.06 mm2 and is amenable to optical/electrical flip-chip packaging. Experiments demonstrate a median error angle of 14° without tuning across the Poincaré sphere and optical C-band.
