Abstract

An optical matrix switch is one of key components for photonic switching systems. So far, several kinds of switch element have been investigated.(1)-(5) Among them, the GaAs/AlGaAs electro-optic directional coupler (EODC) switch has several advantages including (1) the low electric power consumption and fast switching speed inherent to electro-optic effect, and (2) low absorption loss in the long1 wavelength region of 1.3 - 1.5 μm.
