Silicon based total internal reflection optical switch

Total internal reflection (TIR) based optical switches offer wavelength insensitivity, thermal stability, a short device length, the ability for over-driving without pre-emphasis and polarisation independence. When implemented in silicon the plasma dispersion effect is normally employed, using a PIN...
