Abstract

Integrated-optic 1×2 switch utilizing electro-optically controllable Y-fed directional coupler has been fabricated in LiNbO₃ substrates with proton exchange technology. Such an integrated-optic switch has the newly designed Y-branching power divider allowing for high switching contrast at the both optical output ports and low driving voltage. To obtain an acceptable value of the interaction-length-to-coupling-length ratio, the novel trimming procedure is proposed. A rather high switching contrast ≥ 23 dB (power extinction ratio) at any output port and 2.5 dB insertion losses were obtained for a device with the 9 mm electrodes length.
