  • Abstract
    We fabricated a silica PLC-VOA using suspended narrow ridge structures and successfully reduced the power consumption to 20 mW/channel. Using the proposed structures, we demonstrated a 16- channel V-AWG with a compact size of 20 times 17 mm and a low total power consumption of 320 mW.
