Organic Polymer Integrated Optics: Recently Design and Simulation of an Electro-Optic 2x3 Switch

Abstract

Electrooptic waveguide technology is suitable for realization of an electro-optic 2x3 switch based on integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer using polymer material, where ESO of polymeric materials were used. It can provide high performances and it is applicable for all optical switching networks. The relatively low cost technology, easy fabrication process with standard optoelectronic fabrication process and with high degree of integration compared to other technologies make the development of optical switch based on this technology favorable one.
