Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The thermo-optic(TO) coefficient of polymers is much larger than those of inorganic glasses. In order to make the most of this advantage, we demonstrated TO switches using the silicone resin as the waveguide material with a low loss and high-temperature resistance. A Y-branching digital TO switch is expected to be insensitive to environmental conditions. The Y-branching digital TO switch using the silicone optical waveguide operates with acceptable stability against humidity and temperature changes.
