摘要: A new type of Y-junction optical switch structure based on refractive-index-controllable waveguides is investigated. Switching operation observed when polarity the reverse bias applied between two arms Y-branch alternated. crosstalk less than -12 dB achieved with a transition length 400 mu m at 1.06- wavelength. An realizable this that has small size, large bandwidth, and high speed. >
