Silicon Waveguide Integrated Optical Switching with Microsecond Switching Speed
Abstract
Options for the design of a Mach-Zehnder switch based upon silicon waveguide technology are discussed. Results for a 2x2 thermo-optic device are presented showing a switching speed of ~10 µs and an extinction ratio of 23.5 dB.
