摘要：

A wavelength selective optical switch is developed based on a high-Q racetrack resonator making use of the large thermooptic coefficient of silicon. The racetrack resonator was fabricated using a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) single-mode rib waveguide. The resonator shows a high Q factor of 38000 with spectral sidelobes of 11 dB down and can be thermooptically scanned over its full free-spectral range applying only 57 mW of electrical power. A low power of 17 mW is enough to tune the device from resonance to off-resonance state. The device functions as a wavelength selective optical switch with a 3-dB cutoff frequency of 210 kHz.
