A reconfigurable polarization rotator is proposed and demonstrated numerically assisted by a right-angle Sb2S3 inlaid in a slab SiC waveguide. The crystalline Sb2S3 enables a 90° polarization rotation with transmittances (T) of -0.22 dB and polarization conversion efficiency (PCE) of 98.36% at the wavelength of 1500 nm. This rotation effect disappears with T > -0.014 dB and PCE < 3.16% within the waveband from 1500 nm to 1600 nm when the Sb2S3 is switched to the amorphous state. The reconfigurable polarization rotator can contribute to the programmable photonic integrated circuits and neuromorphic optical computing.
