摘要: Abstract In this letter, novel optical switches based on VO2 thin film substrates of silicon (1 0 0) has been fabricated. The vanadium dioxide films were deposited by reactive ion beam sputtering followed a post-annealing. Testing shows the insertion loss is 1–2 dB, and extinction ratio up to 26 dB. speed as fast 3 ms.
