N × N polymer matrix switches using thermo-optic total-internal-reflection switch.
We have developed fully non-blocking optical matrix switches using a thermo-optic polymer 1 × 2 total-internal-reflection (TIR) switch as a unit switching element. The TIR switch consists of crossed multimode polymer waveguides and an offset heater electrode at the switching node. The fabricated 4 × 4 and 8 × 8 optical matrix switch chips show excellent switching performances. The insertion los...
متن کاملIntegrated liquid crystal optical switch based on total internal reflection
An optical switch structure which combines a planar lightwave circuit and liquid crystal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The switching is realized by inducing total internal reflection through controlling the refractive index of the liquid crystal. The principle and the design of the integrated optical switch are described. Experimental results suggest that anchoring of the liquid ...
متن کاملTotal internal reflection holography for optical interconnections
Planar diffractive optical elements are well suited to fulfill the needs of optical interconnections. They are efficient and can serve as focusing elements, imaging elements, beam deflectors, and fan-out elements. Almost any shape of structure can be realized. This flexibility allows complex and compact interconnections. Two different types of diffractive optical elements exist: the holographic...
متن کاملAll-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup
In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
متن کاملReconfigurable 1×4 InP-based optical switch
An integrated 1 4 InP-based optical switch is reported. The device is quite simple and full device operation is achieved by injecting electrical currents to two electrodes. Since the operation of the switch relies on current spreading, using the carrier-induced refractive index change in InGaAsP multiple quantum wells, an area-selective zinc in-diffusion process is used to regulate the current ...
