摘要
We report on a three-waveguide electro-optic switch for ultra-compact photonic integrated circuits and data routing. The device features a plasmonic MOS mode for enhanced light-matter-interactions. The switching mechanism originates from a capacitor-like design where the refractive index of the active medium, Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO), is altered via shifting the plasma frequency due to carrier modulation inside this waveguide-based MOS design. This modulation controls the transmission direction of TM polarized light into either a CROSS or BAR waveguide port. For a tolerable insertion loss of 3 (8) dB, the switch provides a cross-to-bar state discrimination of 4 (10) times. The device can be integrated into a Silicon-on-Insulator platform to keep manufacturing costs low.
