  • Abstract
    Coupled waveguide structures with sections of alternating phase mismatch are proposed as a method to vary the coupling coefficient between the two coupled waveguides by an electrical adjustment. We consider the design of polarization-insensitive microoptical switches/ modulators based on this principle.
