Abstract
In this paper, an ultra-compact 3 × 3 SOI multimode interference optical switch is presented. There is only one hyperbolic multimode waveguide in the switch. By changing the refractive index of one or two parts within the hyperbolic multimode waveguide, the switch can realize on and off functions between any pair of input and output ports. The various states of the switch were simulated and analyzed using the finite difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM), the structure parameters of the switch were also designed and optimized. The optimized switch has excellent properties and the whole size of the switch is less than 4 mm.
期刊介绍：
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
