We investigate theoretically spin polarization in a square AB ring and in a circular AB ring with the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) and the magnetic flux. It is shown that in the presence of both the RSOI and the perpendicular magnetic field, the AB rings can work as a spin polarizer, and the spin polarization transport can be modulated by the values of the system parameters. In addition, we find that the square ring is more suitable for a spin polarizer due to its higher stability.
