Directional coupler and method using polymer material |
摘要 |
An optical coupler and method is disclosed in which a polymer material is employed to optically couple a first and second waveguide in a transfer region. In the transfer region, the first and second waveguides are positioned in parallel separated by a specific distance. The polymer material has an index of refraction which varies with temperature. The optical switch device is controlled by adjusting the temperature of the polymer material to obtain a desired index of refraction, thereby resulting in the desired transfer of an optical wave from on waveguide core to another.
