Abstract

A Mach-Zehnder optical switch structure based on coupling of double resonant cavities comprises a pair of input waveguides, a front coupler, a rear coupler, a pair of output waveguides and a pair of optical resonant cavities, wherein the input end of the front coupler is connected with the input waveguides and is used for dividing a path of light into two paths of light, and the two paths of light enter an upper interference arm and a lower interference arm respectively; the rear coupler combines the two paths of light into one path of light to be coupled into a certain optical waveguide of the input waveguides; one end of each output waveguide is connected with the output end of the rear coupler; the two ends of the upper interference arm and the two ends of the lower interference arm are connected with the front coupler and the rear coupler respectively; the optical resonant cavities are coupled with the upper interference arm and the lower interference arm respectively. According to the Mach-Zehnder optical switch structure, the advantage of drastic phase changes of wave lengths near resonance points is utilized, the two-arm interference characteristic of the Mach-Zehnder interference structure is combined, the refractive index of one resonant cavity only needs to be changed, and light signals are output from different ports.
