Constant power operation thermo-optic switch |
摘要 |
A method for operating a planar lightwave circuit at a constant power consumption, comprises providing a matrix of integrated active elements, heating independently each active element with a separate heating power, and cooperatively operating the heating powers of the active elements to keep a sum of the operating heating powers constant in time independently on the dynamic operation of the element. The active element has two connecting configurations and is operative to have a phase change in a light beam passing through each of the connecting configurations, both connecting configurations being constantly heated. The active element is operable in both analog and digital modes with a constant power consumption.
