Abstract

The 2 × 2 MMI-MZI polymer thermo-optic switch in a high refractive index contrast (0.102) with a new structure design is realized. The fabrication was done using standard fabrication techniques such as coating, photolithography, and dry etching. A crosstalk level of -28.6 dB has been achieved. Meanwhile, the extinction ratio of 28.6 dB has been achieved in this device. The polarization-dependent loss of 0.3 dB was measured at 1550 nm wavelength. In terms of wavelength dependency, the device shows a good performance within C-band wavelength with vacillation of the insertion loss value around 0.88 dB. The power consumption of 1.85 mW was measured to change the state of the switch from the cross to bar state. The measured switching time was 0.7 ms.
