Abstract

In this paper a silicon-based digital optical switch (DOS) with the slot structure is demonstrated. By filling electro-optic polymer in the void slot of the branches, the electro-optic effect can be applied to the DOS, and a high-speed silicon switch with digital switching property can be achieved. Analysis shows that the crosstalk is about 35dB, switching speed is less than 1ps, and the device length is less than 1mm.
