摘要：

An integrated 4x4 polymer thermo-optic switch at 1.55 mum is demonstrated for the first time. A fibre to fibre insertion loss of 10 dB, and extinction ratios of 17.5 - 19.5 dB were measured. The polarisation sensitivity was typically less then 0.5 dB and the response time was less then 1 ms. The electrical power consumption was found to be 70 mW per single switch.
