A polarization converter based on taking a high-order TE mode as a transition mode comprises a ridge waveguide () and a slab waveguide () that are arranged in double layers and varying in width, and a strip waveguide () which is varying in width. The ridge waveguide () is disposed on the upper end face of the slab waveguide (), and is aligned with two ends of the slab waveguide (). The right end of the ridge waveguide () and the slab waveguide () are connected with the strip waveguide () with the varying width. A TMmode enters from the left ends of the ridge waveguide and the slab waveguide, and is converted into a TEmode for output. On the contrary, the TEmode enters from the right end of the strip waveguide and is converted into the TMmode for output.

An on-chip mode converter-based silicon-germanium photoelectric detection apparatus comprises an insulating substrate, an optical coupler, an on-chip mode converter and a multi-mode silicon-germanium photoelectric detector. The optical coupler, the converter and the photoelectric detector are sequentially connected and all fixed on silicon wafers of the insulating substrate. An incident fundamental mode optical signal is transmitted to the optical coupler through a single-mode fiber, enters the converter via the optical coupled. The converter converts the fundamental mode optical signal into a multi-mode optical field and enters the photoelectric detector, which converts the multi-mode optical field into an electrical signal. Heavily germanium-doped region are located in areas with relatively weak distributed light intensity of the multi-mode optical field. The absorption loss of the heavily germanium-doped region and third through-holes on the optical field is dramatically reduced and the responsiveness of the apparatus can be improved effectively.
