Low Power Consumption Mode Switch Based on Three-Dimensional Polymer Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

Low Power Consumption Mode Switch Based on Three-Dimensional Polymer Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

We present a polymer thermo-optic mode switch based on the structure of two vertical Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). It can achieve a rapid switch between E<sub>00</sub>, E<sub>01</sub>, E<sub>10</sub> and E<sub>11</sub> with the different heaters...
