We designed and demonstrated experimentally a silicon photonics integrated dynamic polarization controller. The overall size of the dynamic polarization controller on chip is 2.830 mm × 0.210 mm × 1 mm. The modulation bandwidth is 30 kHz. By using a variable step simulated annealing approach, we ach...
