Study on LiNbO3 1×2 asymmetrical electrode Y branch digital optical switch
A novel design scheme for digital optical switch with high extinction ratio by employing S curve waveguide at the end of the Y branch is proposed.Higher extinction ratio than that of the device without S curve waveguide is obtained by applying certain synchronous voltage to the Y branch and the curve electrode of the S curve waveguide.Finite Difference Beam Propagation Method(FDBPM) is used to simulate the performance of the design
and the results show that the extinction ratio can exceed-25 dB with the switch voltage of about 8 V at 1.55 μm.
