A novel concept for a compact SOI device used to achieve the conversions between the polarization division multiplexing (PDM) and the mode division multiplexing signals (MDM) is proposed and simulated by utilizing a structure combining a 2D grating coupler and a two-mode multiplexer. The detailed design of the proposed device is given and the simulations show the good performance of the device. The proposed device can be useful for accommodating the future fiber optic communication networks which utilizing multiple multiplexing techniques.
