摘要
A hybrid integration concept has been investigated which combines the advantages of ultra-low loss silica waveguides and low power consumption polymer thermo-optic switches. A 1x2 vertical coupler type switch (VCS) has been realised. Preliminary results exhibited a crosstalk of < -23dB, an insertion loss of 3.5dB (at 1550 nm) and a switching power of < 80mW.
