Abstract
Hybrid Metal-Silicon waveguides are a novel novel form of waveguide
with wide ranging applications in photonics. This paper describes the basic
properties of such waveguides, discusses the behavior of hybrid waveguide
directional couplers and presents a design for an ultra-compact electro-optic
switch based on these properties. At 1 V drive voltage, switching at speeds
up to 30 Gbits/sec can be achieved in a device that is 30 $\mu$m long.
