This paper analytically and experimentally investigates and compares the characteristics of two kinds of polymer buried-channel waveguide thermo-optic switches such as 1) a multimode interference (MMI) switch using a single MMI coupler and 2) a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch. Especially, the MZI switch experimentally exhibited low-power consumption of 3.5 mW, high-speed with a response t...Show More
Sub-mW power consumption polymer thermo-optic photonic switch is studied and demonstrated. The reported photonic switch operates with a power consumption less than 0.4 mW with polarization independence and a very low crosstalk of less than -50 dB.Show More
This letter demonstrates the design and experimental verification of a very low-power consuming, polarization-independent, and high-speed polymer Mach-Zehnder 2 × 2 photonic switch. This thermooptic switch operated with less than 4 mW of power consumption via a small-area heater. This device is, to the author's best knowledge, the most efficient and practical polymer photonic switch operating with...Show More
This letter demonstrates a compact, very low power consumption, and low crosstalk multimode interference coupler-based polymer thermooptic photonic switch. The fabricated thin-film small-area heater confirmed the simulation results with operating power consumption as low as 8.9 mW. The switching crosstalk obtained was less than - 23 dB.Show More
We demonstrate a compact, ultimate-low-power-consumption, polarization-independent, and high-speed polymer Mach-Zehnder 2times2 photonic switch. Our thermo-optic switch operates with less than 4mW of power consumption via a small-area heater, which is, to our best knowledge, the lowest value of its switch type reported to date. The polarization independent switching crosstalk is less than -25dB wh...Show More
We present a compact polymer-based photonic switch with low power operation of 9 mW and a low switching crosstalk of -23 dB. Additional designs have shown lower power consumption less than 4 mW and crosstalk less than -40 dB.Show More
