All optical integrated upconversion fluorescence-based point temperature sensing system using Er 3+ -doped silica-on-silicon waveguides Rev. Sci. Instrum. 73, 476 (2002);On-chip integration of optical switches and planar light circuits ͑PLCs͒ can greatly reduce the size, manufacturing cost, and operating cost of multicomponent optical systems. A silicon-on-insulator platform for integrating microelectromechanical system ͑MEMS͒ latching optical waveguide switches with PLCs is presented including a working example of chip scale integration of reconfigurable-optical add/drop multiplexer and -Routers, along with details of the integrated latching MEMS optical switches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
