Fabrication and characterization of polymer thermo-optic switch based on MMI coupler
The 2×2 polymer thermo-optic switch based on MMI coupler is realized. This device is fabricated using standard fabrication techniques such as coating, photolithography, and dry etching. A crosstalk level of -36.2 dB is achieved at cross and bar states. A power consumption of 1.85 mW is applied to ch...

| Summary: | The 2×2 polymer thermo-optic switch based on MMI coupler is realized. This device is fabricated using standard fabrication techniques such as coating, photolithography, and dry etching. A crosstalk level of -36.2 dB is achieved at cross and bar states. A power consumption of 1.85 mW is applied to change the state of the switch from the cross to the bar state. A switching time of less than 0.7 ms is traced to change a state of the realized switch. |
