A Miniature Electro-optic Switch Array

摘要

We present a new miniature electro-optic (EO) switch array structure. The input signal can be effectively switched to the output waveguide with a low insertion loss of < 0.2dB. A high extinction ratio of > 30dB can be achieved at a low switching voltage of 0.6V. The innovative device structure enables easy scale-up to N×N array with a size of only a few millimeter square. The EO optical switch array provides a promising EO switches technology for high-speed optical networks.
