摘要：

Optical mode switch is a crucial component for the mode-division multiplexing (MDM) system. In this paper, we demonstrate a thermo-optical (TO) mode-selective switch on silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platform. The 2 x 1 thermo-optical (TO) mode-selective switch based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer consists of an adiabatic coupler and a symmetric Y-branch. The input optical mode E00 (E10) is converted to E10 (E00) mode while the light is coupled from different input ports by changing the working state of heater. With 2% index-contrast, a compact mode switch on silica-based PLC platform is fabricated. According to experimental results, the fabricated mode-selective switch shows an insertion loss lower than 5 dB and a mode extinction ratio higher than 24 dB for two modes at 1550 nm. The crosstalk is lower than -10.54 dB from 1500 nm to 1600 nm. The power consumption for two modes are 433.24 mW and 440.15 mW, respectively. The rise time and fall time of the switch are 560.9 & mu;s and 794.8 & mu;s.
