| 20110142394 | MICRO-SIZE OPTICAL SWITCH ON SILICON-ON-INSULATOR PLATFORM - An innovative micro-size photonic switch is presented. The photonic switch is comprised of: a mirror having a reflecting surface; an input waveguide configured to receive an optical signal and output the optical signal at an angle of incidence upon the reflecting surface; an output tapered waveguide structure configured to output the optical signal reflected by the reflecting surface, and a set of output waveguide channels configured to output the optical signal switched by the tapered waveguide structure with one channel, where an angle formed between the input waveguide and the selected output waveguide channel at the reflecting surface exceeds the angle at which total internal reflection occurs. A switching mechanism is disposed adjacent to the reflecting surface and operable to change the refractive index along the reflective surface and thereby shift the angle at which the optical signal reflects from the mirror. More specifically, the switching mechanism may operate to change concentration of free carrier distribution along the reflective surface and thereby displace the effective reflecting interface of the mirror. In this way, the optical signal can be directed to one of two or more output ports of the output tapered waveguide structure and finally exited by one output waveguide channel that is connected to the selected port of the output tapered waveguide structure. The switch can be formed in a silicon layer of a silicon-on-insulator structure. | 06-16-2011 |
