Abstract

The invention discloses an annular resonant cavity-based magneto-optical switch, which relates to a magneto-optical switch. The invention provides an annular resonant cavity-based magneto-optical switch, which has the advantages of no moving member, high switching speed, high stability, low driving voltage, small interference, small volume and easy high integration and the like. The switch is provided with a silicon substrate, two strip optical waveguides, a conductive pole and an annular resonant cavity, which are arranged up and down in turn to form a multilayer planar junction parallel with the silicon substrate; one strip optical waveguide is used for transmitting one path of input signal light and the other strip optical waveguide is used for transmitting the other path of input signal light; the vector directions of the two strip optical waveguides are defined as the transmission directions of the input light, and the included angle of the projections of the two strip optical waveguides in the vector directions on the silicon substrate is 0 to 360 DEG C; and the two strip optical waveguides are crossed on the same plane different planes or parallel with the projections forming a 180-dgree included angle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a magneto-optical switch, in particular to a magneto-optic switch based on the Faraday magneto-optic effect and realizing optical path switching by means of a ring resonant cavity made of magneto-optic material. Background technique [0002] In the all-optical network, the optical switch is mainly used in the optical switching system and the active-standby switching system. The optical switch can realize the functions of routing selection, wavelength selection, optical cross-connection and self-healing protection of the all-optical layer. With the rapid popularization and increasing improvement of all-optical networks, optical communication systems require optical add-drop multiplexing systems, fast information exchange equipment between networks, optical cross-connectors and optical routers, etc., all of which are inseparable from ultra-high-speed large-scale integrated optical switch matrix. Research on optical switches and ...
