Silicon adiabatic waveguide coupler switch using lateral comb actuators

Abstract

A matrix-type silicon photonic waveguide switch using adiabatic couplers with lateral comb-drive actuators is studied. One of the waveguides of the coupler is moved laterally by three actuators for switching. The movable... [ view full abstract ]
