Abstract
We present experimental results verifying the optical robustness of a
multimode interference (MMI) device that is directly butt coupled with optical
fibers at
for
and discuss the gradual increase of polarization dependent
loss. Based on this structure, an electro-optic (EO) MMI waveguide device that can
control the output optical power by using an electrode structure located directly on top
of the multimode is presented. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the switching
operation of the EO-MMI device using commercially available chromophore as the active
EO material.
