Abstract
A Y-junction digital optical switch based on InP/GaInAsP has been realised and operated using either carrier injection or carrier depletion. The switch functions with both TE and TM polarised light. In the case of current injection, 30 mA is enough to obtain a crosstalk up to 20 dB for TM polarisation and 10 dB for TE polarisation.Keywords
