MMI-MZI polymer thermo-optic switch with a high refractive index contrast

The 2 × 2 MMI-MZI polymer thermo-optic switch in a high refractive index contrast (0.102) with a new structure design is realized. The fabrication was done using standard fabrication techniques such as coating, photolithography, and dry etching. A crosstalk level of -28.6 dB has been achieved. Meanw...
