Popis: | Thermooptic (TO) switches using polymer optical waveguides have attracted much attention because the TO effect of polymers is ten times that of silica. Therefore, using polymers instead of silica [1-2] significantly reduces the required switching power. Moreover, fabricating polymer optical waveguides is easier than fabricating silica-based ones, so large optical devices can be made more easily. |
