Thermo-Optically Controlled Vertical Waveguide Directional Couplers for Mode-Selective Switching

We propose a three-dimensional waveguide structure for the realization of mode-selective switches, where the high-order spatial modes of a few-mode waveguide can be switched to various single-mode waveguides with thermo-optically controlled vertical asymmetrical directional couplers. To demonstrate...
