Abstract

It is shown theoretically that selective perturbation by electrorefractive effect of the even-order modes in III-V semiconductor multimode interference couplers gives rise to high-performance optical switching. The calculated performance of the proposed switch is 3.4 GHz/Vmm, compared to 0.85 GHz/Vmm for an equivalent Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switch. The effects of electroabsorption and dimension variations are analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed device.
