Abstract
Silicon-based optical switches have been fabricated which rely on refractive index change induced by injected minority carriers. Multimode raised-rib 2×2 structures are fabricated using epitaxial silicon and diffused homojunctions. The first evidence of 1.3 μm optical switching is observed.Keywords
