Abstract

Operation and design considerations are described for a general class of symmetric directional coupler switches. Performance limitations are discussed in terms of asymmetries. Comparisons are made between various waveguide and electrode geometries. Measured devices operating at \lambda = 0.83 \mu m have a V π voltage length product under 30 V mm and an extinction ratio greater than 28 dB in each output state.
