Abstract
Low-loss silica waveguides on silicon are used to produce a variety of planar lightwave circuits (PLCs), including optical splitters, thermooptic switches, filters and routers, which are useful devices for constructing optical communication networks The introduction of the high-speed optical effect into silica-based waveguides will extend the possible PLC functions with a fast switching operation.
