    摘要: An optical switch includes an input port, output ports, and a spatial light modulating section that receives an optical signal from the input port to deflect the optical signal to a selected one of the output ports. A phase distribution with the same radius of curvature as that of a wavefront of the optical signal and a phase distribution that allows the deflected optical signal to be coupled to the output port are set for the spatial light modulating section.

    摘要: For waveguide type optical switch circuits, there is a problem in that both reduction in time required for switching and switching-back and reduction in power consumption cannot be achieved. One embodiment of a waveguide type optical switch circuit includes: a waveguide that has a clad layer stacked on a substrate and a waveguide core embedded in the clad layer; a heater that is formed on an upper surface of the clad layer above the waveguide core; and a groove that is obtained by removing the clad layer in a vertical direction of the substrate and has a surface parallel to a side surface of the waveguide core. A distance X between the waveguide core and the heater is designed to be equal to or greater than a distance Y between the heater and the groove (X≥Y)

    摘要: An optical switch is configured by providing a planar lightwave circuit layer on a top surface of a Si substrate. The circuit layer forms, on the top surface of the substrate, an optical waveguide including an underclad layer, an optical waveguide core, and an overclad layer. The optical waveguide is provided to have a structure configuring a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A heater is provided at a position just above an arm of the core on the top surface of the clad layer, and power supply electric wires are electrically connected to both ends of the heater. In a local portion including an interface between the clad layer and the top surface of the substrate, trench structure portions as concave grooves are provided.
