摘要
We present a 1 × 4 Y-branch digital optical switch in which S-bend variable optical attenuators are integrated. The S-bend waveguides, which are always introduced to connect the switch and the standard fiber array, are made use of and designed as variable optical attenuators. A compact device with low crosstalk and larger branching-angle is obtained. The device is fabricated on the thermo-optic polymer materials,and the performance of the device is measured. With an applied driving power of less than 200mW, the device has a low crosstalk of less than - 35dB at a wavelength of 1.55 μm.
提出了基于热光型聚合物的集成有S弯曲光衰减器的1×4Y分叉数字光开关.利用开关与光纤阵列耦合用的S弯曲,将其设计成可变光衰减器,这使得器件更紧凑,并获得低串扰和大分叉角.在小于200mW的驱动功耗下,器件串扰可低至-35dB.
