摘要：
We demonstrate a compact, low-power and broadband electro-optic switch in a simple waveguide geometry with undoped nematic liquid crystals. We experimentally achieve near infrared switching and signal routing with voltage modulations as low as 0.21V and a device length of 0.16mm. (C) 2005 Optical Society of America.
