摘要：

We demonstrated a PMMA-based thermo-optic switch consisting of a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) type waveguide drawn by proton beam writing (PBW) and working at lambda = 1.55 mu m. The MZ waveguide was drawn by symmetrically coupling two Y junctions with a core width of 8 mu m and a branching angle of 2 degrees. A Ti thin-film heater and Al electrodes were formed on the surface of the MZ waveguide using conventional photolithography and wet-etching processes. An ON/OFF ratio of 9.0 dB and a switching power of 43.9 mW were obtained from the sample. The switching power is lower than for conventional commercial silica-based switches.
